Evidence-Based Programs for Lasting Change
Three integrated, church-partnered interventions designed to break the poverty cycle in Nabdam District
Our Approach: Integrated Poverty Alleviation
We combine economic empowerment, skills training, and education in the same communities — delivering through local churches as permanent implementation hubs. Research shows integrated approaches produce multiplier effects that single-sector programs miss.
Village Savings Groups
Community-led savings and lending through local churches
Vocational Training
8 marketable skills for widows to build sustainable livelihoods
Education Support
School supplies, mentorship, and scholarships for vulnerable children
Church Partnerships
Local congregations as permanent, trusted implementation anchors
Our Three Strategic Programs
Each program is backed by rigorous research evidence and designed for sustainability from day one.
Village Savings & Loan Associations
Community-led savings groups of 20-25 women meeting weekly in church spaces. Research shows VSLAs produce a 34% increase in savings and 11% higher loan access. Self-sustaining after the first 12-month cycle.
Vocational Skills for Widows
Hands-on training in 8 immediately marketable skills: soap-making, shea butter processing, tailoring, hairdressing, food processing, beadwork, digital skills, and farming. Church volunteers serve as mentors.
Education Support for Children
School supplies, mentorship, and scholarship support for orphans and vulnerable children. In a region where 75% of adults are illiterate, education is the key to breaking the intergenerational poverty cycle.
Year One Targets
Target Communities in Nabdam District
We focus on the most deprived communities where our team has cultural roots and community trust.
Zanlerigu
Population 5,000+. Mining activity broke the community borehole. Women survive by cracking stones for construction — a trip earns roughly GH₵700 but takes over a month.
Gane
Widows survive by collecting and selling firewood. Children turn to illegal mining because families cannot afford education. Basic school materials must be privately donated.
Nangodi
The district capital, yet so underserved that government workers refuse to live there. Housing scarcity, no basic amenities, and extreme resource deprivation for schools.
