LDS Charities is the Humanitarian arm of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, the goal of which is to foster self -sufficiency.

With this goal in mind, it donates materials and other supplies to communities around Ghana. Recently it donated a mill to the village of Kusi, near Oda which has enabled the community members to mill their grains with very little inconvenience.

They use the milled flour for their own food and for food to sell, thus giving them a way to feed and support their families. Mr. Labo, the miller and earns money for his services and any extra money from the milling goes to pay teachers at the local Lord J Primary School.

The Lord J Primary School is the result of the desire of the present Headmaster, David Awuku, to teach school; a local farmer donated his old cement chicken coop to be used as a school block. The building was painted, windows were added, classrooms were divided by, blackboards rigged school was started. LDS Charities donated desks and tables for the school.

Elder Bruce and Sister Ardis Knudsen are the missionaries who arranged the donations.
