Welcome!

The King's Village Project is a Christian led international development work based in Northern Ghana.

Serving a district of 160,000 people, where the average person earns an estimated £0.50 a day mainly through subsistence farming, the project adopts an integrated development approach - providing clean water and sanitation, healthcare, education and training and enterprise development in the Tolon-Kumbungu district of Northern Ghana.

Founded and led by Ben and Marion Owusu-Sekyere, missionaries with Assemblies of God, the King's Village now employs more than 85 local staff, as well as many volunteers. Between them they've helped develop a hospital which now has three doctors, have provided water and sanitation to in excess of 40,000 people, have provided nutritional support to hundreds of malnourished babies and toddlers, established a school which serves over 325 children and begun to develop a micro-enterprise initiative mostly for women who receive small loans for their businesses. 

Local people are involved fully in the planning, development and implementation of the King's Village Project.  This includes taking part in needs assessments, volunteering their time to help build facilities and forming local groups to deliver elements of the project themselves.
