Research: Complete! Collecting Materials: A Go!
By Willow Faulkner | Communications for Development Officer
After several months of hard work, we have completed the research portion of our preparation. After speaking with experts, scouring the internet, and research others work we have prepared a curriculum and found masters ready to train! But now we need YOUR help! In order for us to implement this training we need to purchase the materials for the 20 women to ensure they receive the full value of this hands-on training. Just $50 will purchase all the necessary materials for one woman or for $100 the entire training will be sponsored for one woman! Your help will change the life of a woman, providing her with the necessary skills and training to start her own business.
Through these trainings we will empower women to and help combat child trafficking. You may be wondering how we can do both of these things, well we believe we must do more to address the root causes of trafficking; why might a family feel compelled to send their child away? Poverty is frequently cited at the main driving factor, which is why we have started our economic empowerment programmes. Significant research shows that women spend 90% of their income on their children and families! By empowering women, we are empowering youth.

Doing More Research!
By Maitham Basha-Agha | Communications for Development Manager
As an organisation, we know that in order to acheive our goal of ending child trafficking in Ghana's fishing industry we have to do more than rescuing and rehabilitating children who have been trafficked. We must do more to address the root causes of trafficking; why might a family feel compelled to send their child away? Poverty is frequently cited at the main driving factor, which is why we have started our economic empowerment programmes. Right now, our field team in Senya is doing some market research around hosting a soap training. Bernice, our main contact in Senya, has been informally talking with women in the area to find out what they think about the training, how it would be most useful for them, and if they would be interested in participating. We want to make sure that the work that we are doing is in line with what the community wants and finds most helpful, and we've gotten some good feedback about this project. In addition to your support of this project, our grants team is hard at work to find additional funding and other forms of support. They have been able to secure a trainer from a local soap making company in Accra who will donate their time and expertise, which we are very excited about. Thank you for your support in making this a reality. Would you help us out and tell one friend about why you believe in this project?
