Greetings from Wa, Ghana.
We (Ruby, Lina, Habib and Francisca), would like to express our gratitude for making 2025 kinder to the people we serve. Your generosity contributes to making this world still a better place. Despite and in spite of everything, we continue to serve those that need our help and make their lives better.
Because of your help, we were able to drill five (5) boreholes to five (5) remote communities with over 1,500 people (adults and children) that will no longer suffer from unhygienic water source; provided 6 small-scale business women with micro-loans; more than 10 persons deprived of liberty have new chance to make their lives better by providing them sewing machines, weaving machines and smock making materials; 34 widows have new chance to uplift their lives by providing them livelihood skills training on liquid soap and local seasoning making; 100 school children with new desks, writing materials, new writing board to study better; over 500 rural school girls now have basic knowledge on their bodies and how to make a reusable sanitary pad; over 50 women farmers have basic knowledge on climate change; 3 communities acted on environmental protection through planting 150 saplings of various non-timber and timber species; over 5,000 listeners tuning in to 10 different radio stations in Wa on climate change advocacy; our seedbank farming benefitted 5 women’s group for groundnut, 1 women group for Bambara beans, 1 women group for soya beans and 4 families for groundnut (3) and guinea corn (1); sensitized over 100 community members on Oral Hygiene and distributed oral hygiene kit; tested and counselled 649 people in 3 communities with high prevalence rate of HIV, HCB and HBV and distributed 559 food hampers to children and adults for our annual gift giving.
We hope to continue to give more impact in 2026 with your support once again. We know giving is getting harder but we believe nothing is impossible if we work together and make this world a better place for all of us.
From our humble heart, we thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to serve those who needed our help.
May 2026 will give all of us a renewed spirit of strength, hope and determination to make humanity function as it should be.
