• Vocational Training Trust
• Rural Well Access Fund
• Coastal Clean-up Trust

Ghana has made steady progress on basic services, but the gap between towns and villages is still wide, and that is worth knowing before you donate crypto to Ghana. Citing the 2021 Population and Housing Census, the Ministry of Local Government, Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs reported in 2026 that 96.4% of people in urban areas have access to basic drinking water, compared with 74.4% in rural communities, a gap of 22 percentage points.

Along the coast, plastic waste is a growing pressure on fishing communities. According to Cynthia Asare Bediako, Chief Director of the Ministry of Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation, as reported by the Ghanaian Times, Ghana generates 0.84 million metric tonnes of plastic waste a year; less than 10% is recycled and 9% leaks into the ocean.

Education is the other thread running through these causes. Young people who leave formal schooling early need practical routes into skilled trades, and in many public secondary schools physics and chemistry practicals are still taught from textbooks rather than at the lab bench. The four causes below are handled by a national agency and by Ghanaian and international organisations that our team has verified.

Causes you can support in Ghana

STEM Access Programme

This programme equips public secondary schools with shared laboratory equipment for physics and chemistry practicals. In schools where these subjects are currently taught from textbooks only, students gain the chance to carry out experiments themselves. Shared equipment lets one investment serve many classes.

Hands-on practicals are a core part of science learning, and schools without laboratories leave students to learn experiments only on paper. CAMFED Ghana works across 1,402 government schools in 46 districts.

Vocational Training Trust

This trust funds apprenticeship placements in skilled trades for young people who left formal schooling early. Apprentices learn a trade on the job, building skills they can use to earn a living. It offers a second route to work for those the school system did not keep.

For young people outside formal schooling, trades such as plumbing, carpentry, welding and tiling offer a practical path into paid work in Ghana’s construction sector.

Rural Well Access Fund

This fund pays for borehole drilling in rural communities that rely on unprotected surface water. A borehole gives a community a safer, more reliable water source close to home. Work is carried out through Ghana’s national agency for rural water supply.

Basic drinking water access in Ghana stands at 74.4% in rural communities against 96.4% in urban areas, according to the Ministry of Local Government, Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs, citing the 2021 census.

Coastal Clean-up Trust

This trust funds community-led clean-ups of plastic waste along the coast, focusing on fishing communities. Local volunteers remove waste from beaches before more of it washes into the sea. Community involvement also builds awareness of plastic pollution where it hits hardest.

Ghana generates 0.84 million metric tonnes of plastic waste each year, of which less than 10% is recycled and 9% leaks into the ocean, according to the Chief Director of the environment ministry (Ghanaian Times).
