Our Projects

Most of our projects are in rural areas or small towns in the Ashanti Region. We will discuss with you which project suits you best. We keep in close contact with our team in Ghana: On the one hand, it is important for us to respond to your interests and take into account your previous knowledge and experience. On the other hand, the choice is always determined by the current conditions of the projects.
