a decade of involvement

Ghana is a West African Nation that has been shown favour by many western societies. The Seeway Trust has been working in Ghana for over a decade and currently is involved in two homes for rescued children. The work in Ghana is overseen by a non government organization (NGO): Seeway Ghana.

One of the homes is in Osenase where there are 34 children living. It has it’s own medical facility on site. The Trust has built a primary school nearby to help educate not only the children living in the home but also those in the wider community.  Land has been purchased by Seeway Ghana and some of the children are currently developing their skills in farming; working with animals and growing various crops. Any produce is then used in the home with the excess being sold at the local market and profits are used for the welfare of the children.

The other home is in Bawjiase, where 20 children are supported by the Trust. Their ages range from 7 to 20 years. A primary school is on site which was built by the Trust several years ago and is now administered by another NGO. Seeway Trust children attend the school which is also of great benefit to the local community.

Each home is registered with the Social Welfare Department in Ghana and has to have a Child Welfare Officer attached to it. The staff who care for the children ensure they are brought up within their own native culture and with Christian input so that the children grow up knowing that they are special to God. Children are accepted into the home on application from various sources including government agencies and, sometimes, extended families. A child is welcomed into the home if there is a proven need, regardless of gender, tribe or religious beliefs.

What does it cost to fund a child in Ghana?
£40 per month covers the real costs of child support in Ghana. We are always looking for people to partner with us in this work.  For more information please click here.

Village School Project

3 hours north of Accra, in the central region, 70 children walk for 2 hours just to get to school - often arriving tired and hungry which makes learning very difficult.  At the end of the school day there is another 2 hour walk to get home.  In Ghana, education is precious and gives a child the means to escape the grinding poverty.

We have already started work on a school-house nearer to where these children live, but need your help to continue so these children will not have to walk 4 hours each day.  Please follow this link to a short video where you can see for yourself how important this work is to the well being of these children: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0pRULR4ovo
