Happy blessed Thanksgiving to all our US friends, supporters and partners! "I will praise the name of God with a song; I will magnify him with thanksgiving." ~ Psalm 69:30 ~ #Thanksgiving

Today is #GivingTuesday, and we want to extend our heartfelt thanks to all our faithful partners and supporters for the 40 years of impact we made together! ❤️

The Mensah Food & Orphanage Fund (later registered as GRID) was established with the help of Coldbrook Baptist Church & the late Rev. Douglas Porter, GRID's First Board Chairman. The story of how GRID was established is a story of how God moves through "ordinary" people & events.

1988- Partnership Africa Canada (the aid arm of the Government of Canada that preceded CIDA) approved a grant for the commencement of The Janga Project and additional grants over the next decade for activities to be scaled up. #impact #40yearsofimpact #partnership

In November 1990, the Mensah family left Canada to start work in Ghana. At the time, Dr. David and Brenda’s daughters – Elizabeth, Deborah, and Carole - were aged 7, 5, and 3. #40yearsofimpact

Forty years ago, Chief Sooh Naba gave NEA land to start the Janga Project. Work began with women’s peanut farming. Wells were dug, tomato farming tested, and many more development projects were initiated. Now, Janga is sustainable! #40yearsofimpact #sustainabledevelopment

As we welcome #2024 with praise and thanksgiving, we THANK YOU for your faithful partnership with us year after year! Happy blessed #NewYear to you and your family!

1995 - Through advisory work for The Body Shop, Dr. David assisted the Tungteiya women's shea butter cooperative to be managed effectively. With their earnings, they built clinics, schools, wells, & more. To this day, 650 #women continue to supply shea butter to Body Shop.

In 1996, as Janga achieved #Sustainability we targeted the Deg area, 1 of the poorest sections of the district. The local chief gave us land, and the Janga women's co-op gave the Deg women’s co-op 60 bags of peanuts to start a farming program. The Carpenter Project was launched!

In celebration of #InternationalDevelopmentWeek, we are shining a light on the importance of partnerships. Partnerships are key to lasting impact! We are grateful for the partnership we have with our Ghana Health Partners, a group of dedicated health professional volunteers.

#Partnerships play a vital role in advancing vision. In 2014, a remarkable team of volunteers with Engineering Ministries International Canada travelled to Ghana to design a hospital that could provide the excellent service we envisioned. In 2022, the Leyaata Hospital opened!

Happy #InternationalWomensDay2024! Through our Babanayaa Project, in partnership with Development Canada, we invest in women to accelerate progress. By investing in vulnerable women & girls, we spark change and speed the transition towards a healthier, safer, & more equal world for all.
