GOALS
1. Problem Definition,
Among the inhabitants of northern Ghana 13 out of twenty are considered poor. The majority of them live in the rural areas without basic infrastructure facilities providing clean drinking water, electricity and good shelter. Most of these people engage themselves in farming which is not a secure income source because of changes in weather etc. Many parents do not have the possibility to put their children in school. This can be due to financial problems and others cultural practices, there are fewer schools in the area, even in some areas there are no schools at all, these people and the entire communities are in need of help in all aspects of life, most specially quality education, and many more. In Ghana as a developing country many people live and work without being able to affect their own situation. People who have had the possibility to get an education or who has a lot of working experience still cannot be sure to get employment in their field or even in other fields. People with ideas and dreams have no possibility to make them come true despite of hard work.
