"If you educate a man, you educate an individual; but, if you educate a woman, you educate a
family."
We believe in the above quote from Dr. Kwegyir-Aggrey. Hence, we have taken the
empowerment of women seriously because we believe it is the quickest, most efficient, and cheapest way to achieve all-round development in the villages. Our women empowerment program supports the
existing women self-help groups and assists in the deployment of strategies for village transformation, skills improvement, and income generation. Special emphasis is placed on the education of
girls. We are empowering women through:
