Turbo Ghana is a micro charity whose aims are:
To relieve financial hardship in Ghana.
To improve health, in particular but not exclusively by providing safe and clean water.
To promote education, including but not exclusively by providing school materials, including laptops and phones.
Currently we are focussed on several communities in the Ashanti region of Ghana. The communities are remote, and most of the community members farm crops for their own needs (and, if they have a surplus, they sell it at the market).
From 2018 to 31 March 2024, every penny of money received from non-trustee donors (including any Gift Aid element) was spent directly on projects. That’s because all admin expenses (including flights and accommodation for monitoring, fundraising costs, government registration, banking, and website) were covered by donations from the trustees. Now that we are growing, this is harder to achieve. But we guarantee that for the year 2024/25, admin expenses will not exceed £5K or 7.5% of donations, whichever limit is smaller.
Turbo Ghana is registered with the UK Charity Commission, and with HMRC for the purposes of Gift Aid.
We are also registered as a separate legal entity in Ghana, called “TG Ghana LBG”. The board members of TG Ghana LGB are: Mark Ryan, Michele Foot, and Kwasi Alare.
Turbo Ghana is participating as trustee in a computer science research project about data privacy and transparency.
