Bongo Development is a small, Cambridge-based charity. Our aim is:
"To relieve poverty and promote health and development in the Bongo District of the Upper East Region of Ghana and other rural areas of Ghana, by means including the provision of improved sanitation, water supply and education."
Information on how we pursue our aims is given on the How we work page.
Our primary goal
In the first instance we aim to provide latrines to rural communities in the Bongo district in the North of Ghana. We hope to build one per household, with an initial target of one hundred. It is expected that increased access to sanitation, together with hygiene training, will improve the health of the villagers.
Our secondary goals
As appropriate, and depending on funding, we will also assist with
- Drinking water issues and education in the Bongo district
- water, sanitation and education issues in other rural districts in Ghana.
Our thanks
We would like to thank everyone who has already made donations, especially the Cambridge schools who supported the charity very generously.
