This partnership is made possible due to funding from Global Affairs Canada. The Women’s Voice and Leadership (WVL) project targets ten (10) communities.
Five each in the Bolgatanga East and Nabdam districts, reaching three hundred (300) women directly.
Key Achievements
- There is a sixty-five per cent (65%) increased awareness among women reached on the rights of women to inherit and own property, take up leadership positions, and report abuse.
- Seventy per cent (70%) of the women reached were successful in starting dialogues towards the redistribution of unpaid care work and are getting their husbands and male children to participate in household chores.
- Seven (7) women have contested and won leadership positions in the Parent Teacher Association (PTA) and the church.
- Three hundred (300) out of the three hundred and eighty-two (382) women reached have been able to enrol and or renew their National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) using funds from the Village Savings and Loans Associate (VSLA) scheme. Each woman has equally been able to enrol and renew at least two of their dependents in the scheme.
