Wassa Association of Communities Affected
By Mining (WACAM)
WACAM is a Ghanaian grassroots organisation that campaigns on behalf
of communities which have been adversely affected by the gold mining
activities in the region. They tackle the problems created when
communities are moved off their land by mining companies, as well
as the problems of those forced to live in close proximity of a
mine. These issues range from loss of land and livelihood, pollution
of water sources, increased poverty and lack of access to schooling
and health care.
