The Foadaan Foundation

Foadaan – meaning stewards of the forest – was founded as a community based organization located in the Bunkpurugu/Yunyoo District of Northeastern Ghana to address the reapidly accelerating forest depletion of the area and to encourage the use of renewable energy as part of the solution.

With help from international contacts and organizations, it is hoped that Foadaan will be able to realize our goal which is to prevent environmental degradation and forestate degraded lands using poverty alleviation and education as a tool.

• To Combat fast forest depletion in Bunkpurugu/Yunyoo District and beyond
• To inculcate the habit of planting trees and taking care of them till maturity
• To launch a sustainable environmental education campaign in Bunkpurugu/Yunyoo District of Northern Ghana
• To setup a gas project to promote the use of bio gas as household fuel instead of charcoal. This will be a measure to reduce pressure on the forest
• To promote rabbit and grass cutter breeding and poultry (guinea fowl) farming in the area as means of reducing hunting and bush fires
• To reverse the trend of falling standards in education through provision of solar energy and computers to schools in deprived communities

Foadaan Consult Ltd was founded in 2007 and formally incorporated in 2010.  This was in response to persistent challenges posed by ignorance and extreme poverty in many communities.

These challenges limit people from attaining their full human potential. Consequently, Millions of people are denied the right to live in dignity because of such factors.

Most individuals and whole communities are thus unable to actively contribute to the positive transformation of their immediate and wider social and economic environment.
