Ghana

Ghana is situated along the coast of West Africa. Agriculture and cattle rearing are the main subsistence activities of most Ghanaian families. Food crops such as cassava, coco, yams, plantains, and maize are cultivated in the forest zones, while yams, maize (corn), and millet are grown on the savannas or grasslands.

Despite having many varied and diverse ethnic groups, Ghana has virtually no ethnic rivalries. Since their ancestors migrated to the region, people have lived together in relative harmony. Intermarriage between Ghanaians from different ethnic groups is also common.

Plan's work

Plan works with over 120 rural farming communities, helping to provide better health care, education water and sanitation and livelihood. We also work with hundreds of village volunteers, who help with managing the projects.
