Poverty Relief

Jacob’s Well runs various employment and agricultural projects to help people overcome their poverty, particularly in Northern Ghana.  For agricultural projects please click HERE.

JWA supports various women’s’ groups with projects that teach them to read and write and then help them start up a small business doing things like making soap, crafting jewellery or processing shea butter which is used for cosmetics. The women on these projects are so very grateful to be given the chance to make some money which they often use to send their children to school.   These projects are run in conjunction with our partner Ruby Yap from the Sahara Advocates for Change NGO.  The aim is to help the women achieve independence and long-term financial security
