Center for Empowering the Rural Woman (CERW), an organisation passionate about empowering women in rural areas has commenced a project aimed at training over 500 in the Agriculture sector.
The project dubbed “Greening the Region” will focus on women in the Upper East, Upper West, North East, Savannah Region, and Northern Region of Ghana.
The group is calling on International NGOs, Local Organisations, Corporate Bodies, Philanthropists and donor agencies to support this good course.
According to facilitators of the initiative, “the project aims to provide opportunities for rural women to enhance their skills, knowledge, and capabilities, enabling them to become self-sufficient and economically independent.”
“Rural women in these Regions often face significant barriers to accessing education and training, healthcare, and financial resources, which restricts their ability to participate in economic and social development.
“By empowering rural women, we can address a range of challenges faced by communities in the Upper East, Upper West, North East, Savannah Region, and Northern Region of Ghana, including poverty, hunger, and inequality,” a statement from CERW said.
“Our project will focus on providing education and training on entrepreneurship, agriculture, and health, as well as facilitating access to financial resources and markets.
“We believe that International NGOs, Local Organizations, Corporate Bodies, Philanthropist And Donor Agencies have a crucial role to play in supporting this project. By working together, we can pool our resources and expertise to create sustainable and impactful solutions that address the needs of rural women in the Upper East, Upper West, North East, Savannah Region, and Northern Region of Ghana,” the statement added.
All interested International NGOs, Local Organizations, Corporate Bodies, Philanthropist And Donor Agencies can support this initiative by providing funding, technical assistance and other resources.
