Christian Rural Aid Network, Cape Coast, Ghana, West Africa

CRAN has been at the forefront of promotion of earlier childhood development education in many rural communities in the main regions in which we operate. Many activities have been undertaken to support pre-school programme in several rural people including construction of KG blocks, provision of furniture, books, teaching aids, etc.

The Christian Rural Aid Network (CRAN) is a local Christian non-governmental organization (NGO) committed to sustainable rural development in Ghana. Its ministry is rooted in the Christian tradition, which is the foundation for a range of activities that promote development of all aspects – economic, social, spiritual – of the person, the family, and the community.

From its humble beginnings as the brainchild of a university lecturer, CRAN has expanded to reach a significant number of communities and citizens across Ghana. The core mission is, first and foremost, to deliver the transforming Gospel of Jesus Christ to rural villages.


The manifestation of this mission is our fight to eradicate poverty and its symptoms amongst the rural villagers of Ghana.

The main practical objectives of CRAN include:

The initiation and execution of community improvement and development projects, in partnership with rural communities, for the alleviation of poverty, the improvement of standards of living, and the promotion of pragmatic, sustainable development.

The establishment of education programmes to provide both formal schooling for children and youth and practical non-formal education for adults, with the common goal of skills training and knowledge acquisition.

The strengthening of family life, through the provision of basic services and training, including primary and secondary education, health and family counseling, and other forms of assistance.

The development of the spiritual side of the rural citizen and the spread of the Gospel to all project areas, in light of the centrality of the Gospel to the mission of CRAN.

CRAN’s ministry is wholly dependent on the generosity of institutional and individual donors. Since 1993, CRAN’s work in Ghana has been supported by the German charity CRAN Freundeskreis e.V., which works both to enable the ministry in Ghana and to expand the visibility of CRAN abroad.

Women In Progress, Cape Coast, Ghana, West Africa

Women in Progress works to achieve economic independence of women and alleviate poverty at a grassroots level in developing nations through the sustainable growth of small women-owned businesses and at the same time establishes mutual understanding among people of diverse cultures.

Women of all ages in most countries experience gender inequality within and outside the home in ways such as limited access to healthcare, housing, education, and work.

The eminization of poverty?is a growing problem in the global economy, with women facing increased social and economic exploitation. Women are 70% of the world’s poor and they own just 1% of the world’s wealth.

Women’s poverty and economic inequality is the root cause of discrimination against women which inhibits their ability to participate in making decisions that affect them, contribute to public life, and enjoy their full array of human and civil rights. Playing the central role in ensuring the social and economic well being of their families, women who are presented economic opportunities ensure their basic survival and the survival of their children through increased access to food, housing, security, healthcare, education, and justice.
