Building a better future for children in Abenta

Help us empower communities by providing education, clean water, and hope

Life can be so unfair

Growing up as a child in poverty in the village of Abenta, Ghana is a profoundly tough and heart-wrenching experience. While each child’s journey is unique, there are common struggles that too many children face:

1.

An uncertain future

With poor employment prospects, limited access to higher education would cloud the hopes and aspirations or anyone.

2.

Limited Access to Education

Schools that lack basic resources, suffer from overcrowding, and face long, grueling journeys to reach their classrooms.

3.

Massive Healthcare Hurdles

Access to healthcare is a luxury they can ill afford. Basic medical care might be out of their reach, leaving them vulnerable to preventable illnesses and suffering.

4.

Childhood Labor

Economic desperation may thrust many into child labour. Instead of attending school, they toil long hours in unsafe environments.

By improving education, healthcare, water access, and hygiene, you can lay the foundation for long-term poverty alleviation and bring a brighter future to so many deserving children.

Some of the ways we support Abenta

Through education, clean water, health initiatives, and sustainable development projects, we offer a glimmer of hope. We empower these children to rise above their circumstances, to dream bigger, and to rewrite their stories.

Clean Hands Saves Lives

Clean Hands Saves Lives

We encourage school children to wash their hands with soap after going to the toilet and before they eat. This is proven to be the most effective way to stop children needlessly suffering and to save lives. We work with the Ghana Education Service to deliver theses programs that reach not only the school children but dept into the communities we work in.
Volunteering in West Africa

Volunteering in West Africa

We take around 50 volunteers a year out to West Africa. Volunteers are involved in many projects in Ghana. From building schools, health clinics, and toilet blocks, to teaching English or coaching the football team. It's a life-changing experience for our volunteers and the communities they help.
Early Years Education

Early Years Education

We have build 3 pre-schools for the under 4’s. Village by Village runs these schools that prepare the children to move into the kindergarten class and begin the start of their education. We run a feeding project to support and encourage attendance. The children learn basic numbers and songs. It is a very popular volunteering opportunity.
