Are you interested in investing in women empowerment with $15 or more?

Patriots Ghana in collaboration with Cheerful Hearts Foundation is fundraising to expand our successful girl’s skills training program to the Senya fishing community.

In 2014, Patriots in collaboration with the Cheerful Hearts Foundation launched a pilot women empowerment project in the fishing village of Nyanyano. This project, known as the fieldhouse project, consisted of building a small facility from which to launch girls vocational training. This project was a great success: the first class of 26 girls graduated proudly in bead making, sewing, creative art and Decoration with a breadth of life-changing entrepreneurial, leadership, and vocational knowledge. Now, Patriots is ready to expand this initiative into the Senya-Beraku fishing community. Similar to the conditions in Nyanyano, child labor is rampant in Senya-Beraku; unlike Nyanyano, child trafficking is also prevalent in Senya-Beraku. The expansion into Senya-Beraku is necessary and will equip girls with tools to provide for themselves financially through business as an alternative of child labor or trafficking.
