Afrikids
Many of the projects listed here have been undertaken with / by the excellent UK/Ghana charity Afrikids so they deserve a dedicated mention and link. In their own words Afrikds’ vision is
To ensure that every child in Ghana is afforded his/her rights as outlined in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, and to do this by building the capacity and resources of local people, organisations and initiatives in such a way that they will be able to continue their efforts independently and sustainably in the future.
Since 2004 we have built a close relationship with the team at Afrikids and have visited many of the projects to see the impact for ourselves. As a result of this we also give unrestricted funding to help with generic needs knowing this will be well used. We thoroughly recommend Afrikds to you – please click on the link below to visit their site.
