Langbinsi is located in the north of Ghana. There is only one unpaved road in the town, which is soon to be asphalted. It takes 14 hours by public and semi-public transport to get from the capital Accra to Langbisi.
The village has around 5,000 inhabitants, including many farmers and herders who live outside. Like everywhere else in Ghana, most of them are subsistence farmers. They produce staple foods such as maize, rice, millet, yam, manioc, plantains, vegetables, peanuts and fruit for their own consumption and only sell what is left over. The same applies to products from cattle, sheep and goats. Every three days is market day. Here you can buy tomato paste, okras, peppers, tomatoes, yams, coconuts, oranges, melons, but also Maggi cubes and spaghetti.
People live in mud houses and sleep on mats on the floor. Water has to be fetched from the well. An ambulance provides basic medical care in Langbinsi. The village is connected to the electricity supply.
