To help curtail the immigration of the youth drifting from the northern part of Ghana to the southern part in search of non-existent jobs. To improve the living standard of people by creating more employment opportunities thereby enhancing the income levels of the rural poor, particularly in the north-western part of Ghana.
We offer skills training in business management, marketing, costing, book-keeping, ICT, leadership training, etc. Provision of start-up capital in a form of a revolving loan. Input credit particularly tools, equipment, building and weaving materials. Provision of office spaces, workshops, and residential accommodation.
