Project Overview

In partnership with: Canchuhgo Church

Background

Once hailed as a potential model for African development, Guinea-Bissau is now one of the poorest countries in the world. It has a massive foreign debt and an economy which relies heavily on foreign aid. Compounding this, the country experienced a bitter civil war in the late 1990s in which thousands were killed, wounded and displaced. It has also become a major hub for cocaine smuggled from Latin America to Europe. Several senior military figures are alleged to be involved in the trafficking of narcotics, prompting fears that the drugs trade could further destabilise an already volatile country. Lynne Bogle from Annahilt and Hillsborough Elim is serving with the Canchuhgo Church in Guinea Bissau, teaching in the school and developing an English course.
