Learn how to build a well by clicking the photographs taken at various stages during the construction of a well we dug in Gboloo Kofi, Ghana.




WE Dig Wells
In the heat of the African summer in May 2006 we completed our first well to bring clean drinking water to a remote rural village living in poverty of approximately 300 people.

WE Build Household And SCHOOL toilets
4,000 childern die each day in Africa because of a lack of clean water and access to basic sanitation. So we build toilets to reduce those deaths and educate children, teachers and the community about issues of hygiene and sanitation.

WE Provide SCholarships in the poorest villages
In Ghana education is free up to the age of 18, but to attend school you need shoes and a uniform. If you are living in poverty and have several children that first hit to get all your childern to school is sometimes just too much. We work with the local Head Masters and village Chiefs to identify those families in the greatest need and provide shoes, books, pencils, bag, belt and a uniform. So far we have granted over 350 scholarships (1/4/11) in over 35 remote rural villages.

WE Built an Information Centre
In January 2007 the footings of a 300 seater information centre were laid in the remote village of Gboloo Kofi in Ghana, Africa. Building was completed by March 2008. The centre is the source of information to all the surrounding villages bringing messages of health, hygiene, sanitation and family planning.

We Built A SCHOOL Library
The information centre we built in January 2007 in the village of Buloo Kofi now also houses a school library. We sourced and shipped books to the village and stocked the shelves high.

WE Create Public Information films
In a small remote rural village without light & power we have set-up a big screen with a generator and data projector. Our wonderful volunteers produce, edit and direct these public health/education videos which always star the opinion leaders of the community we are working with. All films are produced in local dialect and include as many of the local people (normally a cast of thousands) as possible to ensure everyone comes to see themselves on the big screen whilst passively learning about public health issues, and it works.

WE Teach at the local school
Our teaching projects are based in Gboloo Kofi [Bull-loo Coffee] a remote rural farming village nestled in jungle and forests in the heart of Ghana's Eastern region. The community school we teach in is very poor and supports children from 6 to 18-years-old. The school has approximately 200 to 300 children and 10 teachers. We receive a warm welcome from the Head Master and the local teachers.

WE Photograph/Document the villages we work in
The link between giving and involvement with that community you give to must be very tangible. We ensure all our donors get to see where their money is being spent and more importantly who and why are the families receiving that money. Using digital media we show the donors the communities we serve.

We Create Small Businesses IN VILLAGES IN POVERTY
In a small remote rural village without light & power we have set-up businesses. We have helped sewing, carving, washing, and building enterprises set-up and hope they will be the first of many.
