HARVESTIME COMPANY LIMITED.
Our main objectives are to provide:
- (i) Basic and high school education for children of school going age who have no access to quality education due to the fact that available schools in other rural dwellings are too far away for children to safely commute each day to and from their own settlements.
(The first rural settlement selected for our operations is Tagadzi-Dorfor in North Tongu District of the Volta Region).
-
(ii) Health education for rural folks at Tagadzi-Dorfor and many villages within 5 km radius.
(This is necessary because the source of water available for drinking is from dug-out dams and streams where livestock and humans compete for water)
-
(iii) Bore holes from which potable water will be available for rural dwellers.
-
(iv) Jobs for men and women whose means of livelihood is subsistence farming which is not even enough to depend on the year round.
In the light of this, mechanized farming is to be established in order to provide better income-earning farm jobs and also food at cheaper prices.
A pilot farm project has commenced already. Crops being cultivated include corn, groundnut, beans and vegetables such as okro, pepper and tomatoes.
-
(v)Places of convenience at vantage points in the rural settlement to ensure good sanitation thereby preventing outbreak of epidemics. Presently there are no private or public places of convenience. Inhabitants are compelled to attend nature’s call anywhere convenient to them.
Only one household has an improved pit latrine.
-
(vi) Support, in terms of funding, the rural communities to connect to the national grid for children particularly to access training in digital literacy.
