The Need for Food Assistance

We are pleased to share our collaborative work in Ghana. Thanks to your generosity, we have provided food assistance for families in OBRAKYERE, a village in the Awutu Senya District of Ghana’s Central Region, located about 40 miles from Accra.

With a population of approximately 4,200, OBRAKYERE is primarily a farming community where most residents struggle to make a living. Farmers grow cassava, corn, peppers, and tomatoes, but challenges such as drought, market instability, and land acquisition difficulties make farming unsustainable. The closure of a major cassava processing factory further worsened the situation, forcing farmers to sell their produce at unfairly low prices.

The COVID-19 pandemic has also significantly impacted economic activity, leaving many families in crisis. Without immediate intervention, access to food remains a major challenge.

Thanks to your support, we have been able to deliver food aid for struggling families in Ghana. Our mission goes beyond short-term relief—we are working toward sustainable hunger relief programs that empower these communities to become self-sufficient.

Your continued generosity can make a lasting impact. Join us in fighting hunger today!
