84 children at the Pentecost Child and Youth Development Center in Kokope were diagnosed with Bilharzia in 2025 after years of relying on polluted water from the White Volta River for drinking, cooking, and other daily activities. Waste disposal, runoff water, fecal matter, and illegal mining activities had made the river unsafe for consumption. Families were also forced to travel long distances in search of clean water, affecting children’s school hours and limiting economic activities in the community.

To help solve the challenge, Compassion International Ghana, in partnership with the Pentecost Child and Youth Development Center in Kokope, installed a water treatment plant, four 10,000-litre water tanks, and four handwashing sinks for the community. The project was completed within nine months and officially handed over to residents in April for use.

Compassion International Ghana believes access to clean and safe water is essential to the health, growth, and well-being of children and youth, and remains committed to supporting communities with the infrastructure needed to improve lives.

Below is a video highlight from the handing-over ceremony in Kokope.

Compassion International Ghana, in its efforts to strengthen collaboration and partnerships, held a Denominational Heads Meeting on April 23, 2026.

The meeting serves as a platform to share insights into the ministry’s progress and growth direction, while keeping church leaders informed and seeking their input and feedback on current programme activities.

We believe this forum presents a unique opportunity for our partnership to thrive as we serve our participants and their families.

Here are some highlights from the engagement.

Malaria is a preventable and treatable disease, yet it still claims lives. This year’s theme calls on us to act now and avoid losing more lives to malaria.

Let us remember that ending malaria is not just a goal, it is a responsibility we all share therefore, let us support the fight against malaria.

In the face of a devastating drought that wiped out crop yields during the 2024 farming season, Compassion International Ghana, in partnership with the Konkrompe Church of Pentecost Child and Youth Development Center, turned adversity into triumph.

After analyzing five years of climate patterns, the center strategically shifted its focus to climate-resilient livelihoods by launching a beekeeping initiative in the region’s cashew and shea parklands.

As part of its caregiver empowerment program, 30 caregivers were each equipped with four hives, essential tools, and hands-on training. Within just eight months, 120 hives were installed, 85 colonies were formed, and 55 hives were successfully harvested despite a late start to the swarming season.

By May 2025, the caregivers had produced 737 kg of crude honey, yielding 450 liters of refined honey and 14 kg of wax. This generated a remarkable GHS 19,995.00 in local income.

Compassion International Ghana remains committed to empowering our caregivers to raise their children. This video highlights the journey thus far.

Our verse today is a call to live a life that reflects godly character. It encourages us to clothe ourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. It also emphasizes the importance of forgiveness. Just as God forgave us, we are encouraged to forgive others when they wrong us. This way, we exhibit the nature of Christ in our interaction with others.

Meet Precious and Priscilla, inseparable twins and participants of the Church of Pentecost Child and Youth Development Center in Atorkor. Not long ago, the girls and their family lived in a fragile thatch-roofed house that was unsafe and unhygienic, offering little protection and even less comfort. It was a space no child should have to call home.

During a routine project visit, the situation became clear. The project staff immediately stepped in to secure temporary accommodation for the family while a lasting solution was pursued.

Through the partnership between Compassion International Ghana and COP Atorkor, a beautiful two-bedroom home has been constructed and officially handed over to the family. What was once a dream is now a haven where Precious and Priscilla can grow, learn, and dream without fear.
Watch the video to witness the inspiring journey.

Our verse today shows us that even when we fail or fall short, God does not withdraw his love or break his promises. His covenant remains constant because his character is trustworthy and dependable. God’s faithfulness is not based on human perfection but on his steadfast love and truth. We can rely on him always to keep his promises to us.

As we draw the curtains on Ghana Month, let us take a quick look at the highlights of Compassion International Ghana’s celebration. Ghana Day brought together the vibrant spirit of our beloved country in both our Accra and Tamale offices. The essence of the day was beautifully captured as staff showcased Ghana’s rich and diverse culture through colorful traditional costumes, mouth-watering local delicacies, and beautiful traditional dance performances. From north to south, our teams came together to honor the heritage that unites us, creating a joyful atmosphere filled with pride, unity, and appreciation for the beauty of Ghana’s traditions.

Philippians 2:3–4 teaches us not to act out of selfish ambition or pride, but to value others and consider their needs alongside ours. This scripture reminds us that true love is shown through kindness, respect, and a willingness to serve. It calls us to look beyond our personal interests and show genuine concern for the wellbeing of others. In doing so, we fulfill the greatest commandment.

This verse teaches an important lesson about humility. It shows us that true honor comes from God, not from trying to elevate ourselves above others. When we treat people with respect, serve others sincerely, and remain humble, God rewards us accordingly.
Let us challenge ourselves to practice humility in our daily endeavours. Remember that genuine greatness is found in serving others and living with a humble spirit.

During a routine home visit, project workers at the Church of Pentecost Child and Youth Development Center in Atorkor discovered that the living conditions of Precious and Priscilla were far from ideal.

At the time, they were living in a thatch-roofed house with no proper flooring. The environment was neither hygienic nor safe for the well-being of the young girls and their caregivers.

The project staff intervened by renting an apartment for the family as an interim measure. However, to provide a more sustainable solution, Compassion International Ghana, in partnership with COP Atorkor, decided to construct a two-bedroom house for the family. The project began in August 2025 and was successfully handed over to the family in February 2026.

We are optimistic that this new home will go a long way in giving Priscilla and Precious a memorable childhood and supporting their growth into fulfilled Christian adults.

Here are highlights from the handover ceremony.

Humility is an important quality in our relationship with God, and when we acknowledge our need for his direction, he leads us on the right path and teaches us what is right. This verse reminds us that God’s guidance is for those who are open, teachable, and dependent on him. Let us strive to live in humility, trusting God’s direction and allowing him to shape our decisions and character every day.
