TWHM Principle
Our History & Vision
Rooted in Purpose,
Growing with Hope
Founded in 2008, The TWHM — Travailing Women and Helping Men — was born from a conviction that communities across Africa deserved better access to education, dignity, and opportunity.
Over more than 17 years, we channelled that conviction into action: funding and building schools in Uganda, Kenya, and The Gambia, giving thousands of children a classroom, a teacher, and a future.
Today, our urgent focus has shifted to the streets of Accra, Ghana, where vulnerable families and individuals face daily hunger. We are on the ground providing hot, nutritious meals — one plate, one person, one day at a time.
Our future vision: building an Emergency Medical Fund to cover hospital fees for the vulnerable — because no one should die because they cannot afford care.
Feeding Accra, Ghana
Right Now. Every Day.
In some of Accra's most vulnerable communities, families and individuals are living in dire circumstances — without regular access to hot, nutritious food. We are there, changing that, meal by meal.
£1
= 1 Hot Meal
A steaming, nutritious plate served to one person in need today.
£10
= A Family Fed
Enough nutritious meals to feed a family for several days.
£30
= A Week of Meals
Thirty hot, nourishing meals that sustain a community for a full week.
