My story

 

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Growing up in northern Ghana is tough - especially if you are a girl. Economic and cultural factors work against you, making jobs hard to find, with the result that many girls end up on the streets of the capital, Accra.

Tools for Self Reliance is doing something about it by working with partner, Girls Growth and Development (GIGDEV). GIGDEV trains the young women in the art of tailoring and enables them to take their first steps into self-employment. Tools for Self Reliance funds the training and supplies the sewing machines the girls need.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’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’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

We need your help to continue to make a difference to young lives in Ghana. So please dig deep and donate now.
