economic empowerment at WillWay Africa
Throughout the world and Ghana for that matter, the
largest poverty afflicted groups are female-headed households, which are estimated
to represent a third of all households.
WillWay supports efforts to provide rural women and their
communities with practical skills needed for securing sustainable livelihoods. WillWay
builds the capacities of its beneficiaries through the provision of various
vocational and entrepreneurial skills; seed funding for business initiatives; business
grooming and mentorship; and other forms of support.
WillWay is
currently fundraising to build a multi-skill vocational center comprising
classrooms, workshops, offices, hostel facility for trainees, staff and volunteers.
The facility
will provide free vocational training in agribusiness, Craft and handiwork; and
Home management and Catering for women and girls in lack of economically relevant
skills and with limited employment opportunities. Participants after graduation will be
eligible for Credit
Assistance through a revolving loan scheme and continuous follow-up
support.
