 Mission Statement
‘Thinking globally,
acting locally’

To adopt a Ghanaian village

community for sustainable
eco-technological investment
& reconstruction, as a pilot
project & guiding model for the
regional area – thereby
influencing national policy by
practical example.
 Ethos
Characteristic spirit
 To help reduce Poverty in urban & rural areas of Ghana, and to influence
other ECOWAS countries, by example.

 To help alleviate the serious housing problems in Ghana and the sub-
Saharan region, by setting up Eco-Housing village initiatives.

 Fair Trade not ‘spare’ Aid. As the birthplace of human evolution, the plight
of equatorial Africa is a global challenge that cannot be ignored by the
‘developed’ world - ethically, morally or economically.

 ‘Making Poverty History’ requires the redistribution of wealth and

cessation of political & economic corruption, in order that local communities
can become more self-sufficient, and less reliant upon imports &/or
influences that may undermine their culture & future development.

The following Objectives constitute our ‘Charter’ …
