Economic Situation
The main occupation of the people of Chasea is farming. The main crop cultivated is Millet however they also cultivate cassava for food. They rely solely on rain. In the dry season, they prepare the land and wait for the rain. While waiting for the rain, they derive their daily bread from sales of charcoal. Malnutrition is very high due to lack of balanced diet. Chasea cannot be left out of the most deprived villages in Ghana. They don’t have access to any of the following.

Religion
The people of Chasea are dominantly Christians. They belong to the Methodist society, the only church in the village. Apart from their Christian activities, they still attend to their personal and family idols. They are comfortable with their dual religion because they don’t have leaders who are equipped enough to bring them to a better understanding of the gospel. There is no mosque in Chasea.
Education
They have a primary school block built by the Government to serve six communities. The hardship conditions deter teachers from going there. Even though some of the children claim to be students, they cannot answer simple questions like; what is your name and how are you?
Water
The people of Chasea get their water from a borehole which serves several villages. This borehole is three miles away from them. They have to cue in the night before they can come home with a bucket of water in the morning. Those who cannot travel and cue dig holes in stream beds for water. They suffer river blindness because of the bad water that they drink. They go for days without bathing because they don’t even have enough for food and for drinking.
Shelter
The people of Chasea live in Huts which are constructed from indigenous materials. Clay and logs are all that they need to build a hut. They manually mold bricks from clay and live them in the sun to dry. They use clay in place of mortar to lay the bricks. After an adequate course, logs are put on top and properly covered with clay.
Population
The population of Chasea is about one thousand five hundred. Early marriage and lack of birth control methods has resulted in high population growth.

KPAKPLABUNI
Kpakplabuni is a deprived community in the Wa East District of the Upper West Region. They lack all social amenities one can think of. Apart from the poor food they eat, the huts they sleep in and a straw shade market, Kpakplabuni cannot boast of any thing. They travel several miles for water. A borehole and a free clinic will be received with a joyous celebration. The Methodist Church which also doubles as a class room was built from logs and covered with straw.

JYANVUURY
Jyanvuury is a deprived community in the Jirapa District of the Upper West Region. It has only a basic school which serves the entire village and other surrounding villages. They lack most social amenities including:
|
1. Good road
2. Health centre
3. Police station
4. Public toilet
5. Good drinking water
6. Electricity
|
|
|
|
However, some homes have improvised washrooms (KVIPs) which serve the household. The people of Jyanvuury get their water from three dug wells. Two of these wells were dug by their ancestors several years ago.
The timely intervention of Meaningful Life International with a bore was a great relief to them. The Borehole was sponsored by the Cornerstone Fellowship, Livermore, CA through the initiative of Children’s Water Foundation. The borehole also marks an end to the drinking of contaminated and frog invested water. Nevertheless, a quick response to the health needs of the people of Jyanvuury with a free clinic will save a lot of lives from untimely death. River blindness, Cholera and Malaria are the major health problems prevailing in Jyanvuury.
