"He defended the cause of the poor and needy, and so all went well.  Is that not what it means to know me?" declares the LORD.

Jeremiah 22:16

Welcome to International Help of Missionaries.  In 2008 IHM was established on the principals and direction of missionaries who serve in developing countries.  Missionaries who have given their lives to serve and help the poor, uneducated and those who lack hope for a better life.  

Our goal is to supply these dedicated men and women the necessary resources to achieve their goals above and beyond their expectations and enable those less fortunate in the world to begin a new frontier of hope.  Our current programs create opportunities for children and young adults through education to become productive, innovative and self-sustaining faith driven adults in their communities and villages. They become beacons of light and hope for the world around them now and into the future. International Help of Missionaries is non sectarian and helps all people in great need  throughout the world.

Our current projects are in Ghana, West Africa:
• Tutoring programs for Jr. High School students to help them accelerate to higher grades of education.
• We support and help sustain the Fr. Dogli Memorial Trade School in New Ayoma, supporting educational programs in farming, construction, office skills and computer sciences.
• We are supporting the Adekyee grammar School in the Jasikan district of Ghana with much needed supplies and a school bus. We also raised funds for a water pump for the school which is now operating.
• Plans to fund the opening of the Holy Family High School in the Diocese of Ho in a village called Likpe Bakwa in November of this year 2010 have come to fruition. All the supplies needed for this school are in a container on its way to Ghana as of September 24th 2010. You can view the buildings in the project section.
• Plans to continue develop mentoring and education sponsorship programs for children who’s families cannot afford to give their children an education and help children who work to continue their education.
• Support communities in attaining access to clean water and sustaining food supplies.


     

Above are some photos from Ghana taken while one of our board members was there. The one on the left shows you some of the living conditions in Nkoranza, the one on the right is how they would get their water for cooking, washing, cleaning and drinking (see story in projects section under water) which is just outside of Berekum.

Below is a link to a village called Ndasamin where we have just dug a bore hole. The video is before the drilling I will post the new video as soon as I recieve it next month.  We have many water projects still in need of help please see projects section under water.

 Emergency appeal for Blekusu Minimize

 

IHM Emergency Relief for the people of Blekusu

Recently the area of Blekusu in Ghana was overwhelmed by a tidal wave. This area consists of fishermen and their families. As much as 1,000 men, women and children had to evacuate their homes of which many were destroyed and no longer inhabitable and were living along the roadside which some still remain. Fr Patrick of St Anthony's in the village appealed for emergency help to us to help feed these displaced villagers. Below are some pictures of the distribution of food and the villagers waiting for assistance. IHM has completed 4 distributions of food through Fr Patrick, which we were able to supply a few days food to over 600 each time. Many many thanks to all our supporters for their generous donations that made this possible. We are currently still appealing for help, if you are able to send a donation it would be greatly appreciated and immediately sent to purchase more food.
