Introduction
Imagine being born in a community where you are expected as a woman to drop out of education at a young age, look to start a family and learn to run a house. This is a big problem in Ghana, where a woman is 50% less likely to own land compared to men.
Report
This project is all about sustainability and therefore anyone that we support must follow up by transferring their newly learnt skills to others in the community. This means lower funding for teaching staff and the sustainability of the project within the local community. We will sign women up from communities we work on a 12-week course and the course is split into 2 parts 6-week learning and 6 weeks teaching the next group. After 12 weeks we provide loans and support to set up their business. Just $25 will provide one woman from the community to join a 6 week computer course!
