We were honoured to be presented with a special award by the Sekyere Central district assembly. They said that Ashanti Development was the best charity to have worked in the district, and chief after chief made speeches in our support.
Have a great Christmas everyone ✨
Dome village has its own borehole, but we need a second for the clinic we’re building there. In the past, to drill a borehole we’d hire a drill rig with its team and a supervisor. Nowadays Nicholas, our Ghana Director, supervises the work himself, making it a lot cheaper. The photos show the clinic borehole being drilled.
We recently bought a foetal ultrasound and a printer for the clinic at Nsuta. A few weeks ago we dropped by, just to check everything was working properly, and managed to take these photos.

Between October 2022 and June 2023, 226 newborn babies passed through the new Mothers and Babies’ Unit we built at Mampong Hospital.
The Hospital tells us that seven babies died but that 219 lives have been saved so far. It says that neonatal mortality at the Unit is 0.003.
Nicholas Aboagy, Ashanti Development’s Ghana Director, kindly showed me around Gyetiase and projects beyond when I had the pleasure of visiting the charity’s base last Wednesday. It was amazing to see the photos come to life and put people to names. Ashanti development is making a real, positive impact for generations to come and everyone who is a part should be extremely proud of themselves.
