Ordinary People Making Extraordinary Differences!
Lasajang Community Project (LCP) is a registered Scottish charity (SC037448) supporting rural farming communities in Ghana. Our projects are concentrated in the Sissala and neighbouring communities in the Upper West Region which is the poorest region in Ghana.
If you would like to support our work please email or phone 01236 823869
"Lasajang" is a Sissala word which means building communities together. The founder of the charity Chief Suleman Chebe is a Sissala man who now lives and works in Scotland and who wants to support his home country of Ghana and promote links between the two countries. He is a musician and has visited many businesses and schools (www.teachingdrums.com) in Scotland.
