The process of collecting the cocoa that grows on Enchi, Ghana farm is time-consuming. The unstable rainfall limits farming to take place only during rainy seasons, instead of year-round. The farm is in need of additional supplies and equipment such as fertilizers, sprayers, and tools. Also, yielding more crops will require a larger storage unit. Finally, one of the greatest struggles is that most of the determined workers have to travel long distances by foot each day to work on the farm.
PROJECT UPDATES
Cocoa Farm Tractor and Bridge
December 2022
Thanks to your generous support, the cocoa farmers now have a tractor! Before, the farmers would use up their energy collecting crops by hand and transporting goods by foot. Now, the brand-new tractor will save the farmers time and physical labor.
Along with a tractor, the construction of a new bridge is nearly complete! We are excited to see the Ghana Cocoa Farm becoming more efficient piece by piece. Thank you for your faithful generosity.
Renovations are Underway!
November 2022
The Cocoa Farm project has planted its seeds and is starting to reap success -thanks to your abundant generosity!
Since June, renovations have begun all around the farm. The bridge that connects the road to the farm has begun its remodeling process, which includes laying down concrete. The house for the workers on the farm is also in the renovation process to ensure safe and clean living conditions.
Your selfless support has given the farm the ability to harvest cocoa beans and change the lives of many in Enchi, Ghana. Monsignor Simon Assamoah is endlessly thankful for YOU and Catholic World Mission as your generosity is transforming the cocoa farm and the community!
