Ghana’s Northern Region accounts for almost one-third of the country’s land area yet is only inhabited by about 10 percent of its total population. The majority of people live in rural villages where the main source of employment is farming and poverty is endemic.
Around 70% of the population in the Northern Region are considered to live in poverty.
Whilst Ghana’s overall poverty levels have fallen over the past decade, poverty in the northern region has increased. Common problems facing most rural communities include a lack of access to water, education, health services and employment opportunities.
Simli AiD exists to support some of the most marginalised people in this impoverished region. Its aim is to empower the local people to be able to bring about change themselves and ultimately reduce poverty and its consequences.
