The Green Cape Foundation was created to help others help themselves through teaching principles of self-reliance and Job management.
Cape Verde is located approximately 250 miles off the coast of West Africa. There are ten islands and nine are inhabited. The Church is established on six of the islands. There are approximately 420,000 people in Cape VerdeThe islands of Cape Verde are very diverse. The capital city of Praia (which is Portuguese for “beach”) has a population of 115,000 people or about one-fourth of the population of all the islands. Praia is trying to attract tourism from cruise ships but because there are no real resorts or many hotels on the island, cruise ships are the best option for tourism. The outlying islands such as Fogo, which is basically a volcano in the middle of an island with some villages around the edges, the people have a lifestyle which is very primitive. Most of the men on the remote islands rely on fishing to make a living and many of the women lay cobblestones to make roads. The average income is about the equivalent of $2 U.S. per day. The people in Cape Verde are in desperate need of ways to help improve their employment skills and ways to produce income
