MISSION:

To make the Sustainable development Goals (SDGs) a reality by providing Economic, Social and Legal Empowerment to the marginalized and vulnerable in society, especially women and children.

OBJECTIVES:

1. Develop and implement programmes and initiatives that empower marginalized communities to have access to education and economic opportunities.
2. Provide free legal services to vulnerable people who have the need.
3. Partner with organisations, individuals and communities to ensure they are not left behind in the implementation of the SDGs in Ghana and;
4. Create opportunities for capacity building for staff, communities and individuals who continue to work for the protection of the human rights of most vulnerable in society.

TARGET AREAS/SECTORS:

Skills Empowerment: We create a world where women and children thrive both online and offline by providing empowerment opportunities for the marginalized through several skills’ capacity and livelihood programs.

Legal: The aim is to provide access to justice to all by ensuring citizens know their rights through education on the laws in communities across the country, human rights talk shows and also providing free legal representation and counsel for the marginalized who come into conflict with or in contact with the law and by virtue of their economic status, are denied a fair trial.

Health: We work towards establishing mobile health clinics that can provide health services in the communities. We will also work towards supporting government’s efforts in improving access to water and sanitation in our communities. Our focus is on adolescent reproductive health, water, sanitation and communicable diseases.

Education: We believe that to develop a society, we have to first develop human resources and this can only be done through education. Our educational system is mainly theoretical and largely neglects skill-based education.
