Our work - Yendi


Based in the deprived town of Yendi in Northern Ghana, Tiyah Development Centre is renovating an old building into a school, orphanage and community support centre which offers compassion, love and education to needy children in the area.


Taking the strain from mothers who are often only school age themselves, Tiyah takes in orphans and pre-school age children of young and under-privileged mothers, enabling them to work or continue their education themselves with the hope of proving a better life for their family.


Offering educational, health and hygienic assistance as well as emotional support and understanding, Tiyah provides an essential service to the local community. Acting also as a transitional base we will operate as a facilitator looking for families to adopt orphans and arranging access to formal education for all of the children in our care.


As the project develops, we will additionally offer accommodation to host abandoned or orphaned children, and aim to establish the means to educate mothers in income-generating activities to help them support themselves and their families.
