Entrepreneurship and workforce development
- The Entrepreneurship and Workforce Development Program is designed to empower community members by providing comprehensive training in both entrepreneurial skills and job readiness. This initiative focuses on equipping individuals with the tools necessary to start their own businesses or to become competitive candidates in the job market. Participants receive instruction in business planning, financial literacy, and marketing strategies, alongside job readiness training that includes resume building, interview preparation, and workplace communication skills. By fostering both entrepreneurial acumen and employment competencies, the program aims to stimulate economic growth and self-sufficiency within the community, enabling participants to contribute meaningfully to the local economy.

Rooted in our commitment to uplifting future leaders, the fund provides financial assistance to deserving students of Ghanaian heritage who demonstrate academic promise, leadership potential, and community involvement. By investing in education, we empower young people to pursue their dreams and contribute meaningfully to society. We warmly invite corporate entities, philanthropic organizations, and individuals to partner with us in sustaining and expanding this impactful program.
