Environmental Awareness • AMRF-Kenya Tree Planting Initiative - The Tree Planting Activity aims to raise awareness in the society about the importance of planting and saving trees, express our concern for the environment, and diminish the unfavorable effects of climate change.
Clean Water Project • Borehole Water Projects - Over a million people are without a household water connection in the Northern parts of Ghana and Africa as a whole. What this means is that over a million people (mostly women and children) are required to travel for hours every day to collect water for themselves and their families. This is time spent away from school, work, and/or taking care of their families. Furthermore, the collected water is often polluted and unsafe for consumption; often shared with animals and polluted with their feces. Having access to safe drinking water will not only improve their way of life but save lives. The ministry of health data reveals that most of the diseases found in these areas are often because by polluted and scarce water bodies. AMRF-Africa in conjunction with our donors, Grace Movement, has on-going 4 boreholes in the Northern Part of Ghana, located in Chamba Township, Chamba Local School, Zaegu Township, and Chuchulga Village.
Health & Hygiene Campaign • Hygiene and Caring Campaign – In March 2020, we started another project called the hygiene and caring campaign aimed to create health promotion and hygiene awareness among teenagers and the less-privileged who cannot afford to keep themselves hygienic. We have provided so far to about nine hundred (900) students in Northern Ghana.
Special On-Call Project(s) • Jimile Circumcision - We partnered with the Church of Pentecost Jimile District to embark on a district circumcision of One hundred (100) young boys in four communities namely Techiman No.2, Jilima, Odom, and Zanduri. Also, the team freely circumcised eight (8) boys in addition to the effort totaling the number circumcised to one hundred and eight (108) males. This exercise was urgent in the area since there is no clinic close to the area and they depend on the unhygienic local experts who have been helping since. • COVID-19 Vaccination & Testing Campaign The organization took part in the New York City Covid vaccination campaign project. We embarked on the vaccination and testing campaign through phone calls and public awareness media in New York City.
Agric Project / Youth Empowerment Our agricultural project aims to provide solutions to unemployment in the country. We’ve realized socioeconomic conditions could be improved if more opportunities are created in the agricultural sector. We continue to make strides with outreach programs to help educate the youth about agriculture and its economical benefits. From farming to agro-processing, products development, commerce and exports we’ve contributed by encouraging people in the rural areas where we do our charity work to take on professions in this sector that will yield diverse benefits for them. Programs teaching about systems and tools one could use to succeed in this sector are what we provide in this project. Dubbed as “from the soil to the shelves,” our goal is to involve Ghanaians from diverse socio-economic backgrounds as we realize the economic change agriculture would bring by 2030. This can be achieved with more financial support to purchase equipments, organic fertilizers, seedlings and farming gear for individuals interested in our program. We intend to help utilize the vast vegetative land and compatible climate for cash crops plantation available in Ghana with vocational programs and seminars which highlights farming, processing and packaging, product development, logistics, exports and trade. Agriculture could help build a foundational working class with a path to a middle class. Our programs teaches potential farmers how to Improve Crop Yields through Precision Irrigation and Soil Analysis Objective: To optimize crop yields, water efficiency, and soil health in a small-scale farming operation using precision irrigation techniques and regular soil analysis. Methods: * Install drip irrigation systems to deliver precise water amounts. * Collect soil samples for laboratory analysis of nutrient levels and pH. * Implement targeted fertilizer applications based on soil test results. * Monitor crop growth and adjust irrigation schedules accordingly. Expected Outcomes: * Enhanced crop yields and quality. * Water conservation. * Improved soil fertility and structure. * Reduced fertilizer usage. This project aims to demonstrate the potential of precision irrigation and soil analysis in small-scale agriculture, promoting sustainable practices and increased productivity.
