Friends of Tafo, PO Box 43826 London NW6 1XG
Friends of Tafo is a UK registered charity that aims to empower as well as help the people of Kwahu-Tafo, an impoverished rural town in Ghana, via responsible giving that generates a capacity for self-development in education, health and infrastructure, and employment.
We work in close partnership with local individuals and organisations to ensure that the projects chosen and the resources allocated reflect local needs and priorities. In the interests of efficiency and greater long term possibilities we are always on the look out for opportunities for partnership with other organisations.
Friends of Tafo operates alongside its sister organisation, the Kwahu-Tafo Development Council (KTDC), based in Ghana, which initiates, prioritises and administers projects within the town.
Friends of Tafo was founded in 2001 by TV Producer Humphrey Barclay after his installation as Nkosuohene (Development Chief) in the ancestral home town of his friend the late actor Gyearbuor Asante, who played 'Matthew' in the TV show Desmond's.
