The Moringa Community Third World Woodworking Project

In western Africa, the challenges that need to be overcome are daunting. The Moringa Community is an organization that is seeking to improve the lives of the residents of Ghana by teaching important skills such as food preservation, textile arts and industrial skills – such as woodworking!

That’s right, the third world woodworking project is teaching local Ghanans how to learn carpentry and furniture making to build homes and furniture that can be sold locally, keeping the nation’s limited wealth home. Because of the lack of the country’s infrastructure, the emphasis is on portable power tools to improve the speed of the woodworking process.

Ultimately the plan is for the program to become entirely self-sufficient.
