Ghana is a small nation of 26 million people located on Africa’s western coast. Though Ghana has a rich Christian heritage and about 60 percent of Ghana’s people are Christian, many Ghanaians are strongly influenced by animism and witchcraft. Most of Ghana’s Christians live in the south, and today northern Ghana is the least reached and least developed area of the nation.
Unlike many of its neighbors such as Ivory Coast, Ghana is seen as a haven of peace and stability in a politically turbulent region. As a result, Ghana has made significant strides in infrastructure development in comparison to other countries. However, in the rural areas, particularly in northern Ghana, disease, illiteracy, and poverty are significant challenges. About half of the workforce is engaged in agricultural jobs, yet nearly 80% of Ghana’s people survive on less than two dollars per day.
