 This summer The Blessing Basket Project will work with four University of Wisconsin-Madison students to study the impact of its poverty reduction model in the village of Nyariga, Ghana.
The students will design and undertake research using economic impact assessment methodologies that will evaluate relevant and critical development indicators in Nyargia.
This initiative, the first Blessing Basket Project study of its kind, will provide a systematic outline of the project's impact on individual weavers and the local community.
The results will be documented in an extensive report that will include important information and analysis to help guide future Blessing Basket Project operations.
