About the project
TREE PLANTING PROJECT
📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
The organization is a non-governmental organization (NGO) and was formed in July, 2002 by six (6) volunteers. This group of volunteers realized that tertiary students have nothing to do during their holidays; and so thought of making useful that period by mobilizing these students to help their individual communities, other Ghanaian communities in Ghana and the world at large.
Over the years in existence, this organisation has undertaken projects that has caused change in their local communities and it is their belief that their co-operation with our enviable organization; CCIVS will help their cause.
The projects so far undertaken by the organisation include:
• School construction and renovation
• Construction of community centers
• Teaching of Mathematics, English, Science and French in underprivileged schools
• Environmental Projects (Tree planting)
• Support services to Orphanage/Aged Homes
• Women Empowerment
• Inter-Cultural Exchange Programs
💼 What the programme involves
It is a tree planting project in three nearby communities. The Government of Ghana in July, 2021 declared a “Green Ghana Initiative” to help green the many depleted vegetation in our country. Many of our vegetation has been lost to illegal mining and bush burning for meat. As an NGO, we are glad to organize such initiatives to contribute to greening our environment for all to enjoy the importance of green vegetation; food, medicine and good climate among others.
