Sobre nosotros

Christian Rural Aid Network (CRAN), established in 1993, is a Christian non-governmental development organization committed to poverty reduction and rural development as well as rural evangelism in Ghana.

The overriding goal of CRAN is to support the development initiatives of rural communities, initiate and undertake rural development projects and provide the requisite impulses essential to galvanize development actions at the local levels with the intent to reduce and or eliminate poverty, impoverishment and suffering among the countrys large and growing rural population.

The main objectives of CRAN include to:
• initiate, plan and execute rural community improvement projects jointly with the target group.
• promote formal education among rural children.
• initiate programmes in practical non-formal training for people in rural communities with a view to equipping them with employable skills.
• work towards the economic and social empowerment of rural women.
• promote and undertake actions towards environmental protection.
• organize and raise funds locally and internationally for rural community development projects.
• work closely with both private and governmental agencies and churches in bringing about development to the rural communities in Ghana.
• promote rural evangelism and plant village Christian churches.
