9 million people die every year of hunger related disease. This is more than AIDS, Malaria and tuberculosis combined.
Starvation is very deadly condition which result in malnutrition and even loss of life. Ghana and starvation have been going hand to hand for a very long time.
Some of us take for granted the privileges of life… Food, electricity, clean water, fairly paid jobs, and so on...
I have been in Ghana now for 7 months, and I am witnessing the ongoing daily struggle of starvation, malnutrition, and modern-day slavery.
WE HAVE TO ADDRESS THIS!
We are at the beginning stages of developing a Shelter and Food Provision.
Based upon the huge lack of resources, finances, and general aid in Ghana, building a purpose-built complex is what will enable families and children to access a better start, and a better future.
The aim is to develop a secure environment to provide necessities to as many orphans and families as possible, to relieve some of the most awful living conditions. I am appealing to you, to partner with me and with this vision, which will impact and change lives immensely.
The Shelter and Food Provision will emphasise on orphans, neglected children, and broken families, that either have no home, struggling to survive, are being oppressed in an inhumane manner, or being taken advantage of.
The Shelter will be a step towards relieving literal starvation. It will also provide basic hygiene facilities, such as; toilets and showers, in conjunction with a resting place. Which is more than some have at the moment.
