Project/activity information

This three-year Phase 2 Project seeks to creatively empower six rural women self-help groups to continue to create wealth by cultivating small-scale individually-owned mixed plantations of popular commercial indigenous timber species of Wawa (Triplochiton scleroxylon), and Ofram (Terminalia superba), in combination with Moringa oleifera. The women beneficiaries will utilize very degraded local land legally allotted to them individually by their respective traditional clan heads.

As a further incentives factor, the target women will be trained to process a short list of 33-vitamin nutrient-rich, and demand-driven Moringa products. Such individual village-level small-scale processing activity will enable the target women to significantly improve upon their own household vital body vitamin food intakes, as well as contribute remarkably towards rural poverty alleviation through profit sales of the nutrient-rich Moringa products, while contributing to rehabilitate degraded forest lands in Eastern and Ashanti Regions of Ghana. The implementation strategy will emphasize a “Team-Working Approach”.
