Providing rural girls with vocational education to help them become productive members of society

Annual Goal: $60,000.00

Year to Date Gifts: $800.00

The Methodist Church Ghana will address the stated need by providing vocational education to vulnerable young women in selected rural areas of the country. With skills that enhance their employment opportunities. Young women will be better able to provide for themselves, and their future families. Whether they choose to remain in their village or nearby small towns, or even move to the larger cities of the South. By addressing the problem at the source, in the rural community itself, the church hopes to stem the flow of this economic migration, which will breaking the cycle of poverty. Moral and sexual health education will also help to guard against some of the worst outcomes for these young women.

To equip poorly-educated rural girls with the skills they will need to reduce their vulnerability and become economically self-sufficient and productive members of society.

The Methodist Church would like to see young women become positive contributors to their communities, able to provide for themselves with a sense of pride and accomplishment.
