📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Akim Osorase is a community in the Akim Oda Municipal Assembly in the Eastern Region of Ghana. The main occupation of the people is farming. The community is also known for its Gold and Diamond mining.

💼 What the programme involves

This project is aimed at providing young girls and women/widows in the community with skills in beads, local slippers, palm oil and batik making among others. Through this project these deprived members of the community are empowered to get a trade to better their economic situation. For the widows especially, once they lose their husbands who are the bread winners of the families, their economic situation becomes very miserable and intervention like this becomes very needful.
