Something else

A non-commercial friends and community initiative that connects people, resources and opportunities to support those in need.

Nothing is bought or sold, and nobody is being done a favour. It is an introduction between equals.

Every connection starts with either a person who is willing to give something, or a request or identified need.

Goodwill only becomes help when someone acts on it. We exist to make that step easy and safe to take.

Support given inside a community stays in that community, and it spreads each time it is passed on.

Everyone keeps their dignity, whether they are giving or asking. That applies to every exchange we take part in.

Share what you have... or if you are in need, we ensure you receive help and care with dignity.

Matching needs with the right help.

Accountability and responsible service.

The Special Adinkra Symbol and Logo

Abusua Akoma

People. Hearts. Community. Humanity.

Four hearts for people and compassion, reaching in every direction. A grid at the centre for family and community. A strong centre for divine guidance, protection and shared responsibility. The Foundation does not claim the spirit behind the work as its own.

Four hearts, one community.
