Where Change Begins
Join us as we turn vision into action and lay the foundation for lasting change.
INFN8 VZN is preparing to launch its first initiatives to bring essential resources and hope to communities in Ghana. We’re starting with school drives, providing children with supplies, books, clothes, and solar lanterns to help them learn and thrive. Looking ahead, we plan to expand into sustainable agriculture programs and water restoration projects, creating opportunities that empower communities and build brighter futures.
Every great mission begins with one small step — ours begins with a school drive.
Our first initiative focuses on providing essential learning materials and basic necessities to children across rural Ghana. By partnering with schools and boards, public and private sector companies across the GTA, we’re building a bridge of hope from one classroom to another.
Through this initiative, we’ll be encouraging schools to collect gently used books, school supplies, and children’s clothing from their students and families. Every item, no matter how small, helps build a child’s path to opportunity.
Items we’re collecting include:
- Gently used or new children’s books (storybooks and educational workbooks)
- School supplies: notebooks, binders, paper, pencils, pens, sharpeners, erasers, and chalk
- Colouring materials: pencil crayons, markers, and coloring books
- Basic necessities: children’s clothing and shoes in good condition
- Solar lanterns for students studying after dark
- Backpacks (optional, but deeply appreciated)
Once the drives are complete, our team will personally travel to Ghana to distribute these donations directly to students and schools. We believe that delivering them in person is more than a gesture — it’s a promise. A promise to stand alongside the children and communities we serve, to share their joy, and to remind them that the world hasn’t forgotten them.
Restoring the Flow: Galamsey Water Cleanup Initiative
Illegal mining — known locally as galamsey — has scarred the landscape and poisoned rivers that once gave life to farming communities. Waterways that once nourished the land now run brown with mud and mercury, leaving behind pollution that threatens both people and ecosystems. Through this initiative, we aim to begin healing these waters — restoring what was lost, one stream at a time.
We’ll begin on a small scale, focusing on high-impact restoration sites. Our first goal is to deploy a portable, community-scale water treatment system — one capable of cleaning between 5 to 20 cubic meters of water per hour. As our capacity grows, we’ll scale these systems across more affected areas, bringing new life to the same rivers that once sustained Ghana’s farmlands.
How We’ll Do It
To make this possible, our project will use specialized equipment designed for rural operations — small but powerful enough to make a measurable difference.
Core Treatment Equipment
- Wes Tech Clarification System
- Settlement tanks (2–3 units) – Allow mud and heavy particles to settle naturally.
- Dosing pumps (3 units) – Add precise amounts of treatment chemicals for balanced purification.
- Rapid mix & flocculation tanks – Mix and clump particles so they can be filtered out.
- Sand and activated carbon filters – Remove fine particles, mercury, and chemical pollutants.
- pH adjustment system & sludge pump – Neutralize acidity and remove waste materials.
Chemical Systems
- Lime and polymer feeders – Stabilize pH and bind impurities.
- Sodium sulphide dosing – Extract dissolved mercury safely.
- Chemical storage tanks – Keep materials contained and environmentally secure.
Monitoring & Support
- pH and turbidity meters – Track water clarity and acidity before and after treatment.
- Flow meters and test kits – Measure volume and detect heavy metals.
- Pumps, generators, and piping – Ensure steady flow and reliable power in remote areas.
With this setup, we can achieve up to 95% removal of suspended solids and heavy metals, turning polluted water into clean flow once again — water that supports fish life, farming, and families downstream.
A Ripple That Becomes a Wave
Our long-term mission is to expand from small localized cleanup systems to region-wide rehabilitation efforts, restoring aquatic ecosystems and teaching nearby communities how to maintain clean water systems sustainably. Every tank installed, every litre cleaned, every drop restored — brings us closer to a cleaner, safer, and more sustainable Ghana.
Feeding the Future: Sustainable Farming for Growth
Fresh water means healthier crops — and healthy crops mean thriving communities. After restoring access to clean, usable water, our next step focuses on empowering farmers through sustainable and resource-efficient agriculture.
In many rural parts of Ghana, farmers depend heavily on rainfall and traditional soil-based methods that are often vulnerable to drought, erosion, and declining soil fertility. Through our Feeding the Future initiative, we aim to change that by introducing modern, sustainable growing systems that use less water, less land, and more innovation.
How We’ll Do It
Our pilot agricultural program will begin with the introduction of aeroponic and other water-efficient farming systems — growing plants without soil, using nutrient-rich mist or water vapour instead. These systems use up to 95% less water than traditional farming while producing crops faster and in smaller spaces. This approach is ideal for communities facing limited arable land or unpredictable rainfall.
Key goals include:
- Training local farmers and youth in sustainable techniques such as aeroponics, aquaponics and hydroponics.
- Building small demonstration farms to show how technology and tradition can work hand-in-hand.
- Reducing water waste and improving year-round food security by growing high-yield vegetables in clean, controlled environments.
- Encouraging women and youth participation, ensuring that the next generation of farmers is equipped for modern agricultural success.
Cultivating Change
With cleaner water and stronger farming foundations, we’re planting the seeds for long-term growth — not just in food production, but in self-sufficiency, innovation, and community pride. As this initiative grows, so will the opportunities: from local markets thriving on fresh produce, to schools supported by community gardens, to families building futures rooted in sustainability and faith.
