Interventions
Another successful collaboration with a young British Sports Charity, Kicking Off.
The collaboration with the charity focuses on the organisation of football/sports tournaments and events, and sponsorships of local talent and sports institutions.
The aim is to enhance efforts SVG has undertaken in the Education field in the past few years. Aside from our support for local schools (renovating and constructing new classrooms, supplying support staff and donating educational materials), we will now be involved in the organization of local sports competitions on a yearly basis, and we will also provide support to local sports organizations in need of sponsorships, equipment, amd talent development. Read all about it here.
2016 Health Mission: on the 10th year anniversary of our partnership with charity Anidaso Health, the team was once again extremely productive in their visit to Ghana, performing surgeries and undertaking community outreaches; donating medical equipment and supplies to local health institutions, and educational material to vocational schools.

Water boreholes: water is life
The first water borehole we drilled for communities with difficult or no access to a safe source of water: a Fulani community near the Volta Lake. This will shape interventions aiming to impact in the medium/long term in the Water and Sanitation area.
computer labs
Computer labs set up in six schools located in remote communities. ICT is part of the ghanaian schools curricula, however most schools lack the facilities/computers and teach these on blackboards!
libraries
Community libraries set up at two villages. A facebook page is up and running for the Obo Community Library. Check out its latest news here: https://www.facebook.com/obolibrary
schools building
Building schools projects: 2, 6, and 8 classroom schools built by our volunteers at Pitiku, Adawso, Kradgyei, Kofi Nyina, Mangoase, Ankoma.
water and sanitation
So far, 25 community filters, each covering a population of 200, and some 200 family filters have been delivered in numerous communities that lack adequate sources of clean water -and whose population thus suffers from easily preventable water borne diseases -including diarrhoea, one of the top five causes of death for children under the age of 5.
