PROGRAM
PROMOTING
ADULT EDUCATION
Sachabu Care Foundation has supported Adult education
in its attempt to help poor communities acquire literacy
and empowering life skills that are useful for social,
economic and civil change. We pioneered the use of
Reflect in adult education, which brings together
literacy and numeracy skills with participatory tools
for livelihood improvement. The approach is being
applied to facilitate discussion around issues of
HIV/AIDS, food security, peace building, economic
progression and education of the children. Further
more, we are working towards the use of information
communication technology to enhance poor peoples learning
and communication in the learning context.

WOMEN
EMPOWERMENT
Sachabu
Care Foundation belief poor women should be empowered
to take control of their own lives.
Women
living in the developing world shoulder the heaviest
burdens of poverty as a result of gender discrimination
and social inequality. Yet despite these challenges,
women frequently serve as the catalysts for creating
positive social change. Through our grant making and
our Women's Empowerment Fund, Sachabu Care Foundation
supports projects designed to enable women to become
agents of change, empowering them to transform their
own lives and create lasting and meaningful change for
themselves, their families and their communities.
The
project is to integrate community civic/gender education
about the rights of women and economic support activities
for low-income women. In the long-term, this project
aspires to facilitate change in traditional perceptions
of gender roles in the community through increased knowledge
and new opportunities for women.
GIRL
CHILD EDUCATION
Promoting
girls Education Our interventions in this area are aimed
at removing the barriers that hinder girls from accessing
education.
Many children in Ghana will never get the chance to
go to school and learn to read or write. This is a denial
of their human right to a basic education.
Many of these children have limited access to basic
social services which makes it very difficult for them,
and their families, to break through the cycle of poverty
and build a better future for themselves.
Sachabu Care Foundation believes that education improves
quality of life for children. We strengthen and empower
parents, enabling them to send their children to school.
This allows disadvantaged children to gain fair and
equal access to education and training.
