Anyima-Mansie (pronounced An-ee-mah Man-see) is a rural community 460 kilometres from Accra, Ghana's capital city. With average temperatures of 24℃ in August and 30℃; in March, this area has a wet, semi-equatorial climate. The landscape has scattered trees and some forested areas along the banks of rivers and streams. Most families in this community of 37,300 live in traditional grass-thatched homes with mud-brick walls.

They practice subsistence farming, growing crops such as cassava, yams, and maize, and raising cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, and poultry. In some areas, intense human activity and bushfires have severely depleted trees and other vegetation. In the rainy season, families can face torrential rainfall that often cuts off villages due to the poor road network.

Thanks to the generosity of Canadian sponsors like you, life in Anyima-Mansie has improved. Your support will have a lasting impact for years to come. Let’s celebrate these accomplishments!
