TARGET BENEFICIARIES

The programmes mainly target girls and young women between the ages of 15 - 32 who are mostly rural-urban migrants (KAYAYE), school dropouts and teen mothers and lack the basic skills and support structures for sustanable livelihood.
The girls, especially in the northern part of the country, migrate to the south in search for non-existence jobs.
They end up working as head porters in the big markets of Accra and Chums and get caught in the web of diseases, sexual abuses, teenage pregnancy and homelessness, among others.
