Welcome to Ashanti Development

We work among rural villages which have been hit by climate change. We give them clean water and sanitation, healthcare, education and income-generating activities. We do whatever we can to make poverty history.

Ashanti Development was set up in 2005, when London-based Ghanaians asked their friends and neighbours for help to improve the lives of people in their home villages.

We are a 100 per cent volunteers’ charity and pay no salaries or wages for work done in the UK, though we employ staff in Ashanti. Volunteers fund-raise for their projects and cover their own expenses. Every penny you donate is spent on our work in Ashanti.
