Since its independence, the people of Ghana have experienced widespread housing deficiency. Relative to more developed areas of the world, housing is very expensive in Ghana as compared to average annual citizen incomes. Accordingly, as population growth vastly outstripped available housing provisions, an enormous housing crisis developed, leaving many today to sleep in kiosks, streets, verandas, the woods, and lorry stations.
The Children of The Lord Foundation works to help affected families, including parents, grandparents, and children experience better quality of life through improved living conditions. We work to provide running water, septic systems, and modern shelter to all those deserving. To that end, the Organization has been supporting the efforts of local teams in the Ashanti Region to raise innovative housing solutions for large families to ensure the promise of a better tomorrow is maintained for the youth of today.
Total landed cost for construction of a 1,500 to 1,800 sq. ft. home which can support up to 15 people averages $40k-$45k, and includes:
- Land
- Bricks and Mortar
- Roofing
- Interior walls
- Electric
- Plumbing
- Septic system
- Well and water tank
- Furnishings
- Labor
Support for the Children of the Lord Foundation enables a brighter future for the youth and families of Ghana, is 100% tax deductible, and facilitated by a volunteer staff of real-world, global business professionals who care, just like you.
