PAST ACTIVITY
As a starting point, a small village in the Afram Plains District in Ghana, W/Africa has been adopted for various developmental projects. The Ntonaboma Village has a population of about 7,000 with almost half of the people being children. There are other villages surrounding Ntonaboma but totally separated by the Volta Lake and its tributaries.
Historically, these people were displaced, marginalized and neglected by the then CPP Government who confiscated their farm lands for the creation of the Akosombo Dam and damped them in this remote area without compensation.
Peculiar Problems:
- There are no motor able roads and basic transport infrastructure is non-existent.
- Because of poor or virtually non-existing drainage system, most areas are breeding grounds for insects that transmit diseases, e.g. malaria, river blindness, sleeping sickness, etc.
- The whole island has no health centre. The nearest centre is about 40 miles across the Volta Region or 20 miles by land to the district centre
- They lack good drinking water, electricity, decent toilets, shops, markets and entertainment etc.
ANTICIPATED PROJECTS:
- Educational and Vocational Training Centres.
- Hospital and Mobile Clinics.
- Cooperative farm produce carting and buying assistance.
- Food processing unit.
All our efforts to help and alleviate poverty and eradicate ignorance in this region have been through the sacrificial donations from our small congregation in London the United Kingdom. The project is currently halted because of lack of funds. Our prime focus is to continue, finish and move to another village in the district. House and the Inland Revenue.
