'GHIG' has been in operation with its vision since the year 2000 and have formally acquired its certificate of commencement of business on the 13th October 2003 under the Ghanaian Company Code of 1963 with G.12,273 as its registration number as well as D.S.W/2752 as it’s charity number.

GHIG by far has been successful in its programme delivery due to its involvement of ‘rural community, youth & grass–root approach to human development’ towards its development. 

THE RURAL COMMUNITY:

 The rural community in Ghana constitute the largest human settlement and contributes significantly to the macro-economic stability of the nation. Through food production, supple of natural resources and abundant human workforce. The rural community cannot be over looked nor ignored in the socio-economic development efforts of the country. However, the rural communities continue to be deprived of the basic social amenities vital for their socio-economic and cultural development, thereby impacting adversely on the lives of the rural folks. Thus, GHIG’s prime focus is at these rural communities where its aim is to facilitate development programme delivery that will ultimately lead to enhancement and sustainability of the various aspects of the livelihood of the rural person.

GHIG believes that a nation’s pace of development is largely determined by a significant corresponding development of its rural communities.
