Rexton Ntansah: Thanks to the generous support of the RIAS grant, I have successfully established No Other Land Foundation Ghana, an environmental NGO made up of students from Barekese Senior High School and members of the Barekese community. The foundation is dedicated to protecting water resources, restoring degraded ecosystems, and empowering local communities through environmental stewardship.
Since receiving the grant, the project has grown far beyond our initial expectations. Instead of the 500 trees proposed in the original budget, we have secured 5,000 trees for planting and restoration efforts. In addition, the initiative has attracted significant interest from students and community members who are eager to participate. Unfortunately, due to logistical and financial constraints, we are currently unable to accommodate everyone who wishes to join.
For this reason, we would warmly welcome any additional support from other Rotary clubs, organisations, or individual members who share our commitment to environmental conservation. Such support would enable us to expand the project’s reach and engage more volunteers in safeguarding this critical water catchment.
