Introduction
In ghana a woman is 50% less likely to own land compared to men. These women have the potential to help break the poverty cycle by becoming business owners and earning an income. Unfortunately, as these women leave education early they do not have access to these opportunities
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. We have raised $1600 so far but still have a long way to go to make a difference.
