Nandomkpee Creche/Daycare, Nandom, Ghana
- Category: Community Projects
Project Location: Nandom, Ghana
Project Code: GNN0621
Background: Chalice opened the Nandom sponsor site in 2007, partnering with Serve the Child Centre, a church-based charity organization managed by lay people. The site is named for the town where it's based, a small community in the far northwestern corner of the country. The majority of the families are farmers who depend on rain-fed agriculture, but the dry seasons have been getting longer, and the fertile rainy seasons shorter.
African school farming and food security project
- Category: Community Projects
Project Location: Various sites, Africa
Project Type: Education, Self-Reliance, Community Development
Project Code: GTZ0321
Background: In the African communities where Chalice serves, small-scale farming is a way of life. However, for many families of sponsored children, their farms do not produce harvests that can sustain after their peak periods, leading to food insecurity most of the year.
