“Sew Your Future Ghana” was founded in October 2016 as a pilot project in one of the poorest slums of the capital Accra.
The Beneficiaries of the program are mothers aged 14-21 and their minors from zero to six years old. In collaboration with the NGO DUNK! Grassroots, which has been working in the country since 2011, a tailoring school has been opened at the Jamestown center. While the girls attend the sewing and design courses, affectionate volunteers take care of their children at the adjacent room that is used as a kindergarten in the morning, while in the afternoon it is a library for the kids of the community. The vision of the association is not only to provide girls with working skills but to empower the young women so that they can become self-confident and symbol of success through commitment and respect for themselves and their children.
