By Shayle Havemann | Project leader

Introduction
In ghana a woman is 50% less likely to own land compared to men. These women have the potential to help break the poverty cycle by becoming business owners and earning an income. Unfortunately, as these women leave education early they do not have access to these opportunities
Report
This project is all about sustainability and therefore anyone that we support must follow up by transferring their newly learnt skills to others in the community. This means lower funding for teaching staff and the sustainability of the project within the local community. We will sign women up from communities we work on a 12-week course and the course is split into 2 parts 6-week learning and 6 weeks teaching the next group. After 12 weeks we provide loans and support to set up their business. We have raised $1600 so far but still have a long way to go to make a difference.
Thank you for your support

The Women Are Back in Ghana
By Freddy Ghana | Sewing Legend of Ghana

Cape Coastal the home of one of the slave castles in Ghana. It is a rural fishing community and as such there is simply no support for women of this community to do anything other than stay at home and look after the house or family.
Pre-COVID our project was offering sewing lessons to women that then went on to sell their items in our tourist shop at the castle which is a tourist attraction. Lockdown and the collapse of tourism meant this project was forced to close and we lost many of our local supporters.
But now we are back! Welcoming the first women to the centre the team are working to make new items and sell them again, it's a great project but to run we fund the local teacher a small salary to survive, we fund the material and thread needed to learn and this comes from individual people like you that donate to action change or our project on GlobalGiving. It really is so important to us and we can only do it with your support and words will ever show how grateful we all are here in Ghana!
Thank You for supporting us through this difficult time and we are so excited to re-open and get back to changing the future for all women in our community.
Thanks,
Freddy
