We are a registered nonprofit organization devoted to increasing educational and economic achievement in the developing world. Our programs operate in partnership with rural communities in the West African nation of Ghana.
The Yonso Project is the combined effort of a local Ghanaian staff and an all-volunteer fundraising team in the US who work together to sponsor student scholarships, administer microloans, improve local schools, and pursue other innovative projects to provide opportunity to families and individuals in rural Ghana.

News from Yonso:
This January, we were contacted by Sandro Langholz, a volunteer from Germany who is living in eastern Ghana and teaching local families how to build solar ovens. A solar oven is a device that gathers the heat of the sun using mirrors or other reflective materials to cook food, thus saving families the time and money they would have spent on fuel. Also, because many Ghanaians use firewood to cook their meals, solar ovens can reduce the strain on local forests created by wood gathering.
The Yonso Project arranged for Mr. Langholz to give a presentation to interested residents of Yonso or surrounding communities, and he did so at the end of March. We and the citizens of the communities we work with would like to sincerely thank him for his efforts.
