Blue Skies

Find out more about how we invest in projects and people in our communities
TOGETHER FOR GOOD
Investing in people is important to us. That’s why we developed the Blue Skies Foundation, operating in the communities where our fruit is grown and processed.
To date, the Blue Skies Foundation has invested in more than 120 health and educations projects, including erecting school buildings. We’ve also helped to complete rural sanitation projects, built fire stations and outfitted health clinics. The projects we invest in are chosen by farmers living within the local communities and are overseen by a council of community representatives.
Our Foundation projects have led to increased school attendance and academic performance, improved community health and sanitation, and achieved greater productivity among farming communities.
When people are supported, they feel empowered. And a supported, empowered local community is a healthier, happier one. To us, every single person counts.
PREVIOUS PROJECTS
Just a couple of examples of our projects over the years.
OBOADAKA KVIP, GHANA
The village of Oboadaka is located in the Eastern Region of Ghana, has a population of about 320 people, and is home to a number of pineapple farmers and staff of Blue Skies.
Like many rural communities in Ghana, it lacked adequate sanitation which led to the outbreak of communicable diseases, including cholera during the rainy season.
The Foundation project to provide a KVIP latrine was intended to improve the health status of the Oboadaka community and to enable economic development of the area.
Over 70% of children in the community now use the facility and are learning how to be hygiene conscious.
