Eleven Foundation projects have been given the green light at a Board Meeting in Ghana on the 17th of January. These include the Foundation’s first project for Egypt, which involves the renovation and provision of IT equipment for an education centre. Other projects include the provision of kitchen and playground equipment for local schools in South Africa, and a project in Senegal to support a local orphanage. Five projects were approved for Ghana including a KVIP toilet, a classroom block, two water projects and our third School Farm of the Year Competition.
