Ghana is rich in natural resources and has one of the strongest emerging economies in Africa. Despite this, most of Ghana's poor live in rural areas without basic services such as health care and clean water. The Hunger Project has been working in Ghana since 1995 and is empowering 250,000 partners in 40 epicenter communities to end their own hunger and poverty.
Comfort Kissiwaa has been actively involved in helping to shape life in her community. She says her association with THP has helped to change her from a timid and shy person to an outspoken person, full of confidence and drive.
As part of the scale-up program, the construction of eight new epicenter buildings is expected to be completed in June. More than 20,000 people were trained in THP Vision, Commitment and Action Workshops over the last six months.
Linda Asantewa is a living example of how The Hunger Project's work is impacting the lives of village women, especially, and empowering them to play key leadership roles in their communities.
