## ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE 

The  charity worked with 66 widows and 34 students who are dependents of the widows in Ghana 

We have supported with 4 shipments to Ghana from the United kingdom including oil, fruit juices, sardines, rice and personal effects including footwear and wheelchairs. 

The widows undergoing rehabilitation following strokes and general malaise have been given physical cash to support their rehabilitation. 

The charity has also supported 2 widows who had stroke and needed ongoing medical care and upkeep in their rehabilitation. 



During this period we sadly lost one volunteer and 2 widows and supported with funeral costs. 

The charity continues to support widows in their small scale businesses 

The charity funds the overall training costs of the dressmaking school Reaching Out Widows [ROW] including registration of 

mock 1 and mock 2  and final qualification examinations of the National Vocational Training Institute [NVTI].

This is a nationally recognised examination which results in accreditation which helps the ROW students to find jobs with the fire service 

and other organisations after their training. 

The charity employs 4 facilitators who are currently supporting the running of the school in the west Dangbe locality [Dodowa, Ayikuma, Agomeda and Asutsuare. 

This involves monthly salaries being sent to Ghana. One of the trainees has recently become a Facilitator and 

managing the Asutsuare branch therefore fostering the ethos of trainees becoming trainers. 

In December 2024 we contacted a radio and TV station Obonu TV station who have graciously interviewed our facilitators.
