“Each one Teach One” Yesterday saw the handover and Grand Opening of the new Junior High School at Parkro Junction, funded by the pupils and families of Bury Grammar School https://www.burygrammar.com/. This junior high school will offer the children of Parkro Junction and surrounding communities an opportunity to continue their education and expand the scope of their futures. Some of the pupils of Bury Grammar school will travel out to Ghana next year to see first hand what their donation has achieved. Built in partnership with the Ghana Education Service (GES) and the community of Parkro Junction this Junior High School will change the educational environment for thousands of children for many years to come, Bravo everyone!

Tiny hands, huge impact! 🧼✨
In rural African villages, teaching toddlers and young children simple handwashing habits isn't just about clean hands—it's about saving lives, stopping preventable illnesses, and keeping kids healthy enough to play and learn.
When children learn to wash their hands with soap early on, it sets a lifetime foundation for good health and protects entire communities.
Help us keep these little hands clean and healthy! Visit www.villagebyvillage.org to see how your support brings clean water and hygiene education where it’s needed most. 🚰💙

Chris and his son have just returned from a trip to Ghana and very kindly created a blog story of their time with the charity in the village of Abenta. He's a professional marketeer, it's a great insight into family volunteering — Something which has been growing with the charity for the past few years.

Mothers and daughters, fathers and sons spend time in a completely different environment where both are learning together at the same pace about new and exciting opportunities, cultural differences and amazing food.

If you fancy a trip that will bring some good into the world and get you a closer link to your kids come to Africa!

Good morning! I open a bleary eye at the chorus of cock-a-doodle-doo’s that welcome me into our first morning in Abenta. After a brief snooze, we stumble out of our surprisingly comfy bunks into the heart of village which is already bustling with preparations.

Yesterday marks a proud milestone as we successfully commissioned the Abenta CHPS Compound.

This achievement belongs to all of us. A qualified nurse will live and work in the village, available to the community around the clock. I want you to understand what that actually means. It will massively reduce suffering and save lives. ��Village by Village didn't arrive in Abenta with a plan and a budget. We've been here for nearly twenty years, building trust slowly and working alongside people who know their community far better than we ever could. The clinic exists because the community identified healthcare as their most urgent need, and because donors like you believed it was worth funding.��The handover on Monday isn't the end of something. It's the point where Abenta takes the wheel.��We couldn't be prouder of our team, prouder of this community, or more grateful for the support that made it possible

Access to healthcare should never depend on where someone lives. In rural villages across Ghana, local clinics are transforming lives by providing essential medical care within reach—care that would otherwise require hours of travel or go entirely unmet. These clinics are more than buildings; they are lifelines for mothers, children, and entire communities, offering preventative care, treatment, and hope for a healthier future. Supporting initiatives like this means investing in dignity, equity, and sustainable development where it’s needed most. On Monday 20th April 2026 we will officially handover the new clinic at our base village of Abenta to the Ghana Health Service. Finishing touches are underway and the team are making sure that everything is ship shape and ready to go

We were delighted this week to host members of The Georgia Association of Women Lawyers https://www.gawl.org including their President Kareemah Lewis. It was fantastic for the young women and girls of Abenta to meet these amazing successful women who are part of the Ghanaian Diaspora. We hope the women really enjoyed their visit and will come and see us again one day soon
