Financial transparency

How your money is used

GreenPulse Ghana is committed to directing the maximum possible proportion of funds to direct programme delivery. Below is how donations and grants are allocated.

Direct programme delivery

Site remediation, tree planting, waste collection infrastructure, soil treatment, compost production and community handback. The majority of every donation goes here.

Data & documentation

GPS equipment, photography, data entry, Ghana Data Commons hosting and Site Restoration Records. Permanent public records require sustained investment.

Community education

Training materials, community sessions, signage for new waste collection points and ongoing engagement to ensure systems are maintained after handback.

Operations & administration

Staff, transport, communications and organisational costs necessary to run GreenPulse Ghana effectively and sustainably. Kept lean by design.

Our commitments

Policies and principles

No-burning policy

GreenPulse Ghana operates a strict no-burning policy across all site remediation work. Waste is sorted, composted or sent to recyclers, never burned.

Community-first principle

Communities retain ownership of restored land. We hand back, not take over. Every site remediation ends with a formal handback to the community.

Permanent public record

Every site treated is documented in the Ghana Data Commons, before and after photos, treatment summary and handback date published and permanently accessible.

Donor privacy

Donors may choose to be listed publicly on our Donor Listing page or remain anonymous. We never share personal donor information with third parties.
