OUR HISTORY
Delta Childrens
Village is a natural outcropping of the
Delta Development Project's mission to
improve the socio-economic and educational
problems of poor children and their
families in developing nations, especially
Africa.
After relocating from Sierra
Leone to Ghana, Delta Development Project
acquired land in 1996 on which to further its
mission and goals of providing educational
opportunities and to improve the standard of
living for the children of Densu Delta Community
at Weija in the McCarthy Valley.
The Delta
Development Project (DDP)
|
was born out
of the natural inclination for the improvement in the livelihood and
living standards of the poor, with the
goal of helping to solve the socio-economic
and educational problems of poor
children in Africa.
BACKGROUND
The origin of DDP (Delta
Development Project) was in Freetown,
Sierra Leone and was established in November
1989.
We served in
Sierra Leone for about three years, until
the war of 1990’s interrupted our
activities. We however continued our
efforts in Ghana and registered with the
relevant authorities as Delta Development
Project and continued our
activities related to our mission and
goals. The focus of our mission is to
empower children through education and is
funded in part by proceeds from ETS DELTA
GROUP
ETS DELTA
GROUP is a
development group comprised of board members
and members of the advisory board.
ETS engages in building and renting
homes and shops (real estate development),
travel and tours (people and places),
education, mining (gold and
diamond), imports (general goods and
services) and charity
works. 5% of profits
go to support on going initiatives such as building and
infrastructure at Delta Development Project,
now DELTA CHILDREN VILLAGE.
In our charity work we focus on free and
subsidized education delivery to children.
We sometimes venture into non-focus areas,
such as vocational skill development,
empowerment of girls and women, health,
water and sanitation, feeding and housing
the homeless (orphans).
DELTA DEVELOPMENT SCHOOL
 DDS
is currently sited on a 15 acre premises at
Weija, Accra, Ghana, as part of the DELTA
CHILDRENS VILLAGES (DCV). We presently serve
250 children with pre and primary schools
providing free and subsidized education and
meals, while our aim is to set up school
branches around the world.
DELTA ORPHANAGES
We hope to
establish a
reservoir of infrastructure, equipment and
human resources to educate and provide
services to under privileged children around
the world with a focus on Africa. We intend to
under take this by, sourcing and linking
globally to sponsors and donors.
Ten
childrens'
villages are expected to be built at
different locations worldwide, in Kenya,
Libya, South Africa, China, India, Brazil,
Philippines, Yemen, and Armenia.
