Wow! Such joy!
Campaign: March
Raised: $10,940
Number of kits: 309
Distribution: May
137 boys each received: 7 boxers, 4 undershirts
172 girls each received: 7 pairs of underwear, 4 camisoles
Imagine being a teen and not owning even one pair of underwear. It's a sad situation in Dekpor and we are happy to make a huge difference. Consider hygiene, comfort, and self-esteem. The students in grades 6,7,8 and 9 at Dekpor Basic School AND all of our sponsored high school, apprentice, and university students were thrilled to receive a kit.

Now, it may sound funny to have a project called Chairs, but alas, we have been hoping for a large quantity of stacking chairs for the Dekpor Basic School library for many years now. The search has been ongoing.

Tech is the way of the future! We have been proactive in setting up Dekpor Basic School to give our students a chance at honing skills that so many others in Ghana will never experience. We have a wonderful computer lab, thanks to many incredible donors and volunteers.
Encouraging learning beyond what is offered during the school day is our goal. Thanks to an annual donation by former outreach volunteer, Alan Lawrence, we are grateful to offer computer classes after regular school hours for many students. This is the 5th year!

It's true!
Every year, we stand back in amazement as we reflect on all the projects, initiatives, and cool things we accomplish. Frankly, it's nothing short of astounding! And you know what? We could not do this without YOU!
We are extremely grateful to everyone who contributes.
Read the pages of lists or watch the video. Either way, be impressed with what has been achieved!
Thank you for your continued support! Truly, we have the best circle of people around us!

The need for tools is rather desperate. In a place like Dekpor, community labour is an expectation. They have the manpower, but having the appropriate tools always poses a problem. Several years back, we came up with the idea of setting up a tool-lending library. It has worked really well, so every couple of years, it is time to replenish the supply.
This time around, we got:
- 30 flat shovels
- 30 loader shovels
- 30 machetes
- 6 pick axes
- 6 votsos (root-digging tools)
We raised $1000, thanks to the following people:
