We are registered and recognised as non profit in Ghana with the major aim of promoting sustainable healthcare,water and sanitation and improving quality education and classroom construction.
Since 2015 we are able to transform about 15 communities with good schools, health promotion and championing sanitation problems in rural Ghana.
Our team is made up of strong and energetic young people of different professionals including health workers, teachers,nurses,doctors among others. These group of people contributed towards the development of our vision.
Our local and international partners also support our projects in special way making our operation easier and in good shape.

Major project:
Our charity school and disable children centre:
We run a school with about 200 children with few disabled children in the school system.
We have all subjects in the school assigned by government of Ghana.
The school is a private school but monitored and regulated by the government.
The school need support of many helpers in building facilities, teaching assistance and many other activities.
There have few local teachers due to inability to pay salaries and lack of funds to support much activities at the school because all facilities are supported by only people who knew the project.
In addition, this achoo serve most of children from the community we operate and beyond. Our hope is they through the collaboration with volunteers, we shall make a better life for the children
OUR COMMUNITIES:
Our communities are described as rural with the idea that as a volunteer,you will not expect too much luxury. Life is simple,good and clean environment,hospital is available with flowing water, and electrify.
We worked with other organisation which have not but the volunteers have to move from their accommodation area to those places daily.
Approximately about 20 minutes.
Greetings is a great part of our community therefore as a volunteer, you need to be aware and don't be bored about it.
Other projects we run:
We run 4 community schools in rural parts.
We run a permaculture centre and camps
We promote health through mobile clinic and outreach program.

Summer 2020 agenda
A. Community library construction
As a result of covid19,we cancel all our groups summer camps and want to take this opportunity to build few innovative libraries in rural parts in Ghana.
Our innovative library is about renovating old and already existing rooms,furnishing it and storing books for children to read and learn.
It actually doesn't cost much as building new libraries.
This project will need volunteers to pain,help builders renovate and design walls and help arrange library books in the library.
Its fun for groups and individual volunteers who want to make impact by helping African kids learn.
