Some Good News!

We have received a letter from the USAID funded trade and agriculture initiative known as TIPCEE that they have accepted our concept paper which is a first step in receiving funding for food production activities in the Ningo project. I am hoping they will fund such programs as the fruit drying, nut and corn roasting in collaboration with UK based Tropical Wholefoods, and farmer support programs including organic farming training and our model organic farm. They are interested in programs that can be replicated in other regions, and it is exciting to think our program could serve as a model for future food production projects in Ghana.
