Goats are highly adaptable creatures known in cartoons and common culture to chew on and eat everything from the laundry on the line to… tin cans. Ghanaian children brought up in rural endemic poverty are resourceful and resilient. Unlike children in the developed world who are immersed in an abundance of plastic toys, Ghanaian children are forced to be more creative in their play, which often results in ingenious toys made out of trash and materials found in nature. A tin can to a Ghanaian child presents a sea of possibilities, and is a metaphor for the clever resourcefulness, adaptability and multitude of dreams that children harbor. It is these that we are focusing on as the heart of this empowerment project.



Together we can change the world. Today, let’s start making some tin can dreams come true.
