Introduction to Rural Development and Community Extension

In the service of humanity, with special reference to the rural people, we have drawn our programme of activities that are directly aimed as improving the lives of the people in Ejisu Juaben District Ashanti Region of the Republic of Ghana.

This programme was drawn together with the Chief Executive of the Ejisu Juaben District Assembly, and through a participatory village development programme that was conducted for the communities to ascertain their exact needs and their opinions as to how these needs should be met.

The activities are in line with our goal to affect the lives of the rural people through direct contact with them and to improve their lifestyles for the better. Currant activities are centred on:
