Project Pillar: Ecology

Project cost:
$2000 dollars

Project Status: Through a grant from OVF USA the cooperative was able to secure a commitment from the federal government of Ghana towards the purchase of "Palm Oil and Palm Kennel Oil Processing Plant" The option of a Multipurpose Modern Oil mill was carefully chosen as there are none in the local area and for this reason it has the potential to generate substantial income for the cooperative.

Support Project

Project Name: Jukwa Farmers Coop

Location: Jukwa, Ghana

Vision: A thriving market in Africa to produce healthy food sustainably.

Project Design and Rationale: Work with rural and semi-urban communities in identifying economically viable organic farming operations. We are identifying global organic farming network and technology to build the model for self-sustaining community living. By sustaining the small communities, many of them are in the rural areas in the developing countries, migration from the rural area to urban area would be corrected which will contribute into the balance growth of the human evolution.

Goals:
1. Provide a livelihood for local farmers using the land sustainably while providing healthy food.
2. Expand to other communities in the oneVillage Foundation network, identifying where ecological devastation is occurring and organizing communities to bring and end to those practices and restore the land - restorative economics.
3. Teach villagers and farmers how to market traditionally-produced crops as organic, and how to do the record keeping necessary for organic certification.

Target Groups: African Farmers
