Projects

Thirdway is an international volunteer-driven organization advocating human rights through active, hands-on programs. With our focus in West Africa, particularly Ghana, we develop projects that promote self-sustainability in education, micro-credit, and human rights awareness among local populations. We apply highly interactive programs requiring strong motivation and determination at the local level to create foundations which can eliminate a population's past dependence on foreign aid.
 
Ultimately our goal is to increase independence from the bottom up while significantly decreasing the need for international aid organizations such as ours.
 
Critical to our success are ongoing connections and partnerships with individuals and groups around the world. Operating out of our modest offices in Amersfoort, the Netherlands, Ho in the Volta Region, Ghana other virtual offices around the world we collaborate with volunteers and staff in many different countries to develop our initiatives. We practice the indivisibility of human rights through global collaboration, which enhances our operations and objectives, and connects the people of Ghana with international students, teachers, and volunteers in order to develop mutual understanding between cultures and self-sustaining developmental aid and support.  Since our establishment in 1998 in The Netherlands and 2001 in Ghana, Thirdway Human Rights & Development NGO has implemented a soap-making project training over 50 women to become economically independent, has built and maintains the Klaas Haven School Complex, and manages a micro-credit financing program at Anyako, Keta, Accra, Ho and Kasoa providing funds to the parents of the school children at Kasoa .We specifically target those who share our commitment to self-sustaining developmental aid and indivisible human rights to join us.
