Project Overview This project aims to empower women in deprived communities in Ghana, starting from old Fadama, Agbogbloshie a low-income slum known for its challenges such as poverty, inadequate infrastructure, and social inequalities. The initiative will focus on enhancing women's skills, promoting economic independence, and fostering community engagement to create resilient neighborhoods.
