Our mission is to relieve poverty and promote health and development in and around the village of Gyetiase in the Ashanti Region of Ghana by means including the provision of safe and accessible water. Key Principles Our work must be sustainable - no village shall be allowed to become dependent on us. Villagers must contribute to every project, usually by giving their labour free of charge. Whenever we give a village clean water, we will follow it up with training in health, hygiene and the construction of latrines. We will always consult the villagers and take account of their views at a formative stage in our programme planning. Our trustees and helpers in the UK are 100 per cent volunteers. Every penny we raise goes toward funding our programmes. | |
