Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit&nbsp;our JustGiving page.</p> <p>Growing up in northern Ghana is tough - especially if you are a girl. Economic and cultural factors work against you, making jobs&nbsp;hard to find, with the result that many girls end up on the streets of the capital, Accra.</p> <p><a href="http://www.tfsr.org">Tools for Self Reliance</a> is doing something about it by&nbsp;working with partner, Girls Growth and Development (GIGDEV). GIGDEV trains the young women&nbsp;in the art of tailoring and&nbsp;enables them to take their first steps into self-employment. Tools for&nbsp;Self Reliance funds the training&nbsp;and supplies the sewing machines the girls&nbsp;need.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - we raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs.</p> <p>We need your help to continue to make a difference to young lives in Ghana. So please dig deep and donate now.</p>
