Our Summer Appeal
We are full of gratitude to every person who believes in the work that we do. In these most difficult fundraising times, we need to ask for your help – if possible, please consider making a small donation to our Summer Appeal . We are so determined to continue and grow our amazing work.
Transforming communities through empowerment
We work to reduce poverty in Lawra, rural Ghana, where the majority rely on subsistence farming and food is scarce for months at a time.
What we’ve been up to
Special Needs Awareness Programme
Hunger and isolation during Covid has been a major problem for our SNAP families, but we are now so pleased to be helping them to recover by restarting our monthly workshops for all three groups, and a twice weekly Play Scheme at our reopened Inclusion Centre.
Small Business Development Programme
Following the difficult times brought by Covid, our innovative Integrated Training Plan for small businesses is back up and running, including the incredibly powerful mentoring process, and is more important than ever. Six of our fantastic VocATE apprentices will also be starting their own businesses early this year!
Access to Education Programme
It is fantastic to see many of the children of Lawra now back in school after long closures – we continue our advocacy work to help every child back to the classroom. We are also supporting eight girls from Biro JHS to go to Senior High School, the first ever girls from this school to attend SHS – an incredibly exciting step!
Meet the team
Looking after our fantastic staff, particularly during this difficult period, remains our priority. We’ve ensured all staff have hygiene packs to make sure that they are as safe as possible whilst at work, and have regular full team meetings to check in.

How we work
We’re implementing a strategy of integrated programmes to tackle the cycle of poverty, which reach a broad cross-section of the community in defined rural areas. We call this strategy our ‘Hub Model’.
Our latest posts
We are so excited to be expanding into our sixth Hub in Lawra through the #𝗧𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗧𝘄𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘆!
But, 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 #𝗛𝘂𝗯? Well...
The Hub is our entry point into Tanchara. It includes building relationships with two local schools to access ATE's education programme, EducATE. Daily, we will be providing nutritious meals for over 200 students, encouraging good attendance, and giving them students in Tanchara the energy to focus fully on their education.
On top of that, we will provide learning materials, sanitary products and empowerment workshops for girls, and stable employment for three local women from the community as cooks.

Our hearts burst at the beautiful smile on Kogle Kuudigr’s face as we provide her with a wheelchair ❤️ Being able to go out with her mother is completely life changing. She is now safer and included. Our SNAP Team have done us proud this week- 10 brand new chairs to 10 disabled children. Such beautiful work.
Great works for the greatest benefit to humanity.
