Community Aid for Rural Development (CARD)

Community Aid for Rural Development (CARD) was created in January, 2007 and registered under the Ghana’s Companies Code as a youth based non-profit making corporate organization limited by guarantee. CARD has an aim of empowering the vulnerable (women, children and persons with disabilities), by fighting the ever-increasing rate of HIV/AIDS, low standard of education, low awareness on basic human rights, poor sanitation and unhygienic conditions in communities and the upsurge of poverty evident within our operational areas in Ghana. The aid programme has a focused of empowering and making those marginalized especially youth and youth groups, women, children and persons with disabilities agents of their own development. This we believed will accelerate and ensure speedy and sustainable reduction of acute poverty within these areas in attaining the Millennium Development Goals of reducing extreme hunger and malnutrition, access to primary education and health care, gender equity, promotion of democratic rights and eradication of HIV/AIDS and enhanced sustainable development therein.
