Enoch leads MDRS, the development wing of Methodist Church Ghana, whose key priorities include clean water access and livelihoods. Over many years, WDR has worked alongside MDRS in a variety if programmes (still ongoing): woodlot (growing trees for profit), rainwater collection, crop diversification, bee keeping, literacy and numeracy and clean water and sanitation. In 2023/24, WDR will be supporting MDRS in the training of farmers in new sustainable techniques, an irrigation farming scheme in Donkorkrom and the continuation of the literacy and numeracy work, as well as part-funding of a Programme Officer’s salary.

A visit is planned for late 2023.

“I had been unemployed for two years but now I’m planning to become a full-time farmer. I’m grateful to MDRS and WDR for the woodlot project. The project will decrease my costs and increase my income.”
