SUPPORT FOUNDATION
Objective:
Our objective is support of development projects which are supported by the local people.
It will be projects which will structurally contribute to developing underprivileged areas,
in which the underprivileged children and women are the most important targets.
The start of Support Foundation:
The foundation started out of the Egyam Orphanage Foundation Ghana. A lot of goals were reached within 5 years. The children are fine, the building ready and there is enough back-up for exploitation and schooling. The Egyam Orphanage Foundation will go on as it was and is and takes care of the orphans.

School in Egyam
The second project will be the school in Egyam. There more than 1000 children in the primary and secondary school. The children of the orphanage also go to this school.
The Junior High School (J.H.S.) is in a terrible state and needs to be renovated. Asbestos roof is broken which can cause lungcancer, rooms are devided by bamboo.

Toilets
There are only 4 toilets for more than a 1000 children. Because of this, the children do their needs in the bushes. This causes diseases like dysentery, cholera, diarrhea. Which can even lead to death.
Soon there will be 6 toilets ready in the renovated old block and 5 next to the abondoned block. There are also new urinals made.
The compost of the toilets can be used for agriculture
The
carpenters, masons, tiler, painters are people of the communitiy, so we
can stimulate the economy, although they work for a low fee, because it
is for their own children.

Water wells poor communities
In the poor communities we want to make water wells. The villagers can get their CLEAN water at this well.

Water well / bore hole Kanfakrom
The bore hole in Kanfakrom is handed over to the community. 20 januari 2011. Astrid symblicly handed over the first sack of clean drinking water to the representatives of the community.
The water used untill than was very dirty, still water, which made the people sick. Now there is clean water, essential for every human being!

Waterpump and storage Ankyernyin
On Januari 18th the new water pump systeem and waterstorage is opened by Dolinda and Astrid together with the chief.
There was a bore hole, but did not function the way it should be. As you see on the pictures the people of the communities can get water out of tabs. There is also a high tap, so the bucket can stay on their heads while getting the water and the heavy buckets do not have to be lifted again.

Water tank Pumponi
This water tank is placed in the community Pumponi on October 15th. Pumponi is a village at sea and is the most poor of all the communities in the area.
Making is water well was not possible because it would pump up salt water.
The poly tank was donated by SOR Optimist Achterhoek, Netherlands. Heniette was present.
