What's happening in Ghana?

Despite Ghana's economic progress in recent years, many families are still being left behind, especially in the north of the country. Most households there rely on farming to survive, so when the rains fail or harvests are poor, they can lose both their food and their income.

At the same time, the cost of basic food keeps rising. Around 1.5 million people in Ghana faced crisis levels of hunger this summer, and mothers raising children on their own in rural areas are among those struggling most.

For these families, a food parcel means one less month of worrying about where the next meal will come from.

How you can make a difference

You can change what the coming month looks like for a family in Ghana. Just £40 provides a food parcel that feeds a family of five for a whole month, so parents don't have to choose which meals to skip or send their children to bed hungry.

Give once, give for more months, or give whatever you can. It all goes towards putting food on the table for families who need it most.

What's in our Ghana food parcel

Our parcels are designed to sustain a family of five for an entire month. Each one contains essential food items, including rice, cassava flour, wheat flour, cooking oil, sugar, salt, dried beans, cowpeas, pasta, tomato paste, canned mackerel, canned sardines, canned corned beef (halal) and seasonings. These essentials will help families meet their daily nutritional needs.

Your gift reaches a families table 

Every family deserves to know where their next meal is coming from. For families in northern Ghana, that certainty is hard to find. Your gift of £40 provides a food parcel that feeds a family of five for a whole month.
