About

The King’s Village is an International Development Project in Northern Ghana. A Christian-based project, the King's Village aims to tackle root causes of poverty and to empower local people to reach their full potential.

Based in the Tolon-Kumbungu District, the King's Village serves one of the poorest areas of the country. Among the 150,000 residents in the area the project serves, there is only 1 doctor, provided by the King's Village in 2006. Less than 40% of children in the district attend school and only 1 in 20 adults can read or write. Most people survive on less than 50 pence a day.

The King's Village adopts an integrated development approach, seeking to simultaneously address multiple root causes of disadvantage - namely lack of clean water, healthcare, education and training. Since its inception in 2000, the project has already made a real and lasting difference to thousands of lives.

The project is overseen by 58i in Nottingham, working closely with a Ghanaian board of directors which includes doctors, teachers and community leaders.
