Lives we’ll transform:
- 153 children without a safe home will be given a safe, family environment in residential care to grow up in or resettled with family where possible
- Over 32,000 children will attend our Child Rights Clubs to learn about their rights and how to make sure they’re never compromised
- 840 women, who married as children, will be educated on the importance of their children’s sexual and reproductive health and rights and the dangers of teenage pregnancy
Health
Godfred, Dorcas and Emmani will be ensuring more children can access free healthcare through the Ghanaian government’s National Health Insurance Scheme, improving the quality of services available, supporting children with disabilities and empowering communities with a better understanding of their health and well-being.
Lives we’ll transform:
- 2,230 children will be health screened at school
- 3,320 healthcare workers will attend training sessions to improve healthcare and patient services
- 5,260 family planning and childcare advice sessions will be held for women living in rural areas
These three programmes of work will be pushed into new geographical areas stretching beyond our current focus. Having identified similar issues in neighbouring regions, we will now expand and replicate our model to cover all districts of the Upper East Region as well as some in the Upper West and Northern Regions.
