46% are living on less than £2 per day

25% youth unemployment 

Strangely enough Ghana is one of the world’s top gold producers and exports:

1.       Cocoa

2.       Crude oil

3.       Natural gas

4.       Timber

5.       Electricity

6.       Diamond

7.       Bauxite

Debt

In December 2011 Ghana’s debt  was  $18 billion.

Electricity

Ghana gets its main electricity from The Akosombo Dam which was built on the Volta River in 1965 by Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah which provides hydro-electricity for Ghana and its neighbouring countries.

news: Ghana

We will soon be going to Ghana in africa. We will visit two schools, one in Accra (the capital) and one in Kusami (the second biggest town!). They both have hardly any resources and lots of children! So we decided to bring them books. We asked lots of people and we have been  fruitfull (even a school donated!). we also had JABS (injections) and have arranged flights!
