STOP YOUTH POVERTY

It is so uplifting to be able to give you successful real-life stories, which are linked directly to you - our donors. We are very grateful to our new donors in the UK who have just given us £100 and we say welcome on board and please do stay with us on our journey to stop youth poverty. We, as always, are thankful to GlobalGiving for giving us this platform to share our humanitarian activities with you.

Working together with you as partners, we are happy to inform you that Frank has now been accepted for a job and is waiting for his appointment letter, which is due this coming Monday, 21 March 2016. Furthermore, we have taken on board, Allen and Derick, under our Incubation programme.

Allen has gained a patent for two health drinks and is now looking for support to start a beverage production business. His products have passed all the necessary scientific and food tests. We are currently helping him to produce and package one of his beverages for the final certificate from the Ghana Food and Drugs division. We continue to mentor and coach him and have helped him with his business development. He has free access to a shared-office space, laptop, Internet and secretarial support, at our premises. Allen now needs US$4,000 to bring in his first consignment to start his business. If he receives this amount, Allen will be able to employ four (4) unemployed youth in the course of the year - namely, an Administrative Officer, Finance Officer, Marketing Officer and Sales Officer, in line with our concept of “Youth Creating Jobs for Youth”. We believe that with your continuing support, Allen will soon start earning a decent salary from his business start-up and be able to support himself and his aging parents. The same will be true for his four employees.

Derick wants to start a restaurant and has acquired a few chairs, a television set and some table lamps. He has free access to our Catering Centre and Event Space, to start his restaurant. Derick has some experience in the restaurant business and we are mentoring and coaching him on all the aspects of running a restaurant. He will have to employ a minimum of 13 unemployed youth who will start as interns (cooks, waiters waitresses, cleaners, etc.) to start his restaurant. Derick needs US$11,000 to acquire additional items such as awnings, tablecloth, fans, etc. With your donations, Derick’s dream will surely come true. Furthermore, a minimum of 13 unemployed youth will now have jobs.

Both Derick and Allen fall under our project – “Stop Youth Poverty” and our concept of “Youth Creating Jobs for Youth”. Please help Allen and Derick achieve their dreams and also give jobs to 17 unemployed youth in Ghana. They need all the support they can get through your benevolence and continuous support. Together, we can make this happen.          

Thank you for all that you have done and the continuing support you will providing from now on. God bless
