Join an international team of students working on projects to empower local women in Ghana. The focus is on enhancing vocational skills (IT, English or commercial catering) as well as providing workshops on healthcare, confidence building and gender equality.

As a participant you could get involved in hosting workshops and training sessions with various themes which may include but are not limited to: menstrual health and fitness, women’s rights, English and computer skills.

By providing this support and educational sessions, local women and girls become empowered to make determined choices, improve quality of life and importantly improve contribution to economic and social development.

All activities aim to achieve United Nations Sustainable Development Goals #1 No Poverty, #5 Gender Equality, #10 Reduced Inequalities.

This program includes an optional Community Development online course which must be completed in order to obtain a certificate offered in partnership with the University of Richmond in the United States.
