Turbo Ghana is a micro charity whose aims are:
To relieve financial hardship in Ghana.
To improve health, in particular but not exclusively by providing safe and clean water.
To promote education, including but not exclusively by providing school materials, including laptops and phones.
Currently we are focussed on Aframano, a village in Ghana.
When we raise money for specific donations, 100% of the money raised (including the element we recoup from Gift Aid) is spent on the project. We do not use any of that money for admin or other costs.
We don’t pay any salaries (we are too small to employ anyone). We do have some small admin costs related to accountancy, web hosting, regulation compliance, etc., but these are paid from donations by our trustees, not by money we raise for projects. Likewise, all the expenses incurred by our trustees (flights, accommodation, etc. for visits) are more than covered by donations from the trustees.
Turbo Ghana is registered with the UK Charity Commission, and with HMRC for the purposes of Gift Aid. Turbo Ghana is also registered as a legal entity in Ghana, called “TG Ghana LBG”.
Turbo Ghana is participating as trustee in a computer science research project about data privacy and transparency.
Turbo Ghana is based in London and Birmingham, UK. You can send a message to info@turboghana.org.
