About Us

We are motivated by the love of Christ to serve the poor.


We enable poor communities to meet their basic needs in a sustainable manner.


How We Started

In the 1970s, a group of Ghanaian high school students agreed that they wanted to make a difference in the lives of Ghana’s poor. Each of these students had personally experienced extreme poverty and knew that it was almost impossible to escape without help. Learn more about our history.

Who We Are

We are a Christian charitable organization that provides sustainable community development in Ghana.

We work hand in hand with NEA (Northern Empowerment Association), a Ghanaian Christian development organization that lives and works among Ghana’s poor to alleviate poverty and transform communities.
