Overseas Community Development

Impact in West Africa

Through our partnership with International Barcodes Ltd, we have provided annual support to community development projects in Nigeria since 2017 and Togo since 2023.

Water Project Nigeria

Empowering Villages in Nigeria and Togo

Our contributions support GHNI’s Transformational Community Development (TCD) projects in Nigeria and Togo. This coaching-based approach empowers villages to identify their own needs and break the cycle of extreme poverty through sustainable, local leadership.

Built a training center in Apir for TCD lessons on health, nutrition, and income generation skills to promote self-sufficiency.

Togo Projects

Supporting Leadership Mobility

In 2024, community leader Tierri received a motorcycle to support his engagement across various villages. This mobility allows for consistent TCD training and village follow-up. Tierri also attended advanced training in Guinea-Bissau to further his impact.

"The VIP Latrine in Kodzo Village is now being used as a primary teaching tool for building sanitation facilities in surrounding villages."
