Due to the poor, muddy road conditions, residents lack reliable transportation to move goods and farm produce to markets. The proposed solution is to purchase an “aboboyaa” to serve as a transport service for the community. This will improve market access, increase farmers’ income, and create a job for a local driver.
To address insufficient water for irrigation during the dry season, the community proposed a simple yet impactful solution: stream dredging. This community-led project will improve water retention, enabling year-round farming, increasing crop yield and diversity, reducing seasonal unemployment, and boosting household incomes.
The Kpeve Tornu Tilapia Fish Farm is a community-led initiative developed with CorpsAfrica/Ghana to combat food insecurity, youth unemployment, and declining fish stocks caused by overfishing and climate change. With two cages stocked with 20,000 fingerlings and strong community investment, the project harnesses local knowledge and resources to build food and economic resilience.
The community identified two key challenges—seasonal water scarcity and a dilapidated Kindergarten Block—and, after using participatory tools to assess options, chose to renovate the Kindergarten Block as the most urgent and achievable priority. The project will improve early childhood education by creating a safer, more vibrant learning environment with structural repairs, better ventilation, and child-friendly resources.
A mechanized borehole will provide consistent, affordable water to address the community’s severe water crisis and poor sanitation. It will supply households and the public toilet, reducing costs, infections, and open defecation. Revenue from water sales will support maintenance and future projects.
