These groups include women, people with disabilities, and youth formerly involved in illegal mining. The program’s inclusive nature ensures that those who need the support the most have access to it.
The Project Coordinator at Women’s Haven Africa, Akosua Abua Owusu, stated that participants are undergoing extensive training to help bring out the best of their entrepreneurial skills. The training is designed to equip the beneficiaries with the necessary skills and knowledge to start and manage their own businesses.

Since their establishment six years ago, Women’s Haven Africa has trained over 2,000 individuals, demonstrating their commitment to empowering the youth and promoting entrepreneurship.

With its inclusive and fully funded nature, the program has the potential to make a significant impact in the lives of the beneficiaries.
