Education & Skills Training

Among the high rate of unemployment in the country, Finhda deem it a great honour to train the women on the production of liquid soaps, hair foods, parazone, and batik tie and dye etc. This initiative is to mitigate the unemployment rate in the country. The potentials of these women were improved and trained to become self employed. Finhda is committed to help alleviate the high poverty among the women in the area by assisting them through capacity building, credit facilities and appropriate technology. We hold a strong view that women entrepreneurs are the principal caretakers of most household livelihood and other social, economic and political roles.
Finhda will empower the women through the promotion of income generating activities supported by the introduction of improved technologies and guaranteed market to make their performance more functional and efficient.

Grants (Finhda.Livelihood.Empowerment.Program)

All over the world, women faces different forms and shapes of unique challenges in accessing financial resources or credit, from startups to growing businesses, and participating or contributing fully in the economy. Despite these strenuous obstacles, women have shown remarkable resilience, creativity or innovation, and entrepreneurship, driving or creating positive change in their communities and the world at large.
Microcredit and leadership workshops have emerged as powerful tools for empowering women. They provide women with the knowledge, skills, and resources they need to succeed in business, they invest in their families’ education, health, and well-being, breaking the cycle of poverty and creating an enabling environment for other fellow women to thrive in their businesses thereby making a positive change in their communities. Investing in women’s economic empowerment sets a direct path towards gender equality, poverty eradication and inclusive economic growth. Women make enormous contributions to economies, whether in businesses, on farms, as entrepreneurs or employees. We must of a necessity, collectively and intentionally act now to place every woman and girl to have equal rights, opportunities, and representation. To achieve this, we need unwavering commitment, innovative solutions, and collaboration across all sectors and stakeholders.

F.L.E.P MODULE

Under this module, we discover the actively poor market women and fund them with startup or capital to enhance their operations. A rigorous research is done within a geographical location and the team carries out interviews with these women and the Market Queen Mothers of the various markets. A typical Ghanaian market has a Queen Mother who is nominated to help mobilize, assist and organized these women into an organized groups who are capable of securing funds from the indigenous banks or through daily contribution (susu- in our local parlance) or rely on organizations such as Finhda for financial support to expand, grow or startup. We identify a market within a location, for instance, tomatoes sellers association in a particular market, kindly have interactions with the Queen Mother to discover the exact plight of these actively poor women in that category of trade. To some they’re unable to grow their businesses because of single parenting. The family whole financial burden is been borne by them. Some of these women also lack basic financial literacy which we take upon ourselves to train them in that regard. After these discussions, Finhda comes in with a well thought through and detail oriented training for these women. We fund them with small grants. The purpose of this grant is not to make profit but rather to enhance the operations of these market women and also be able to fund other women within the same bracket.

Education

‘Using Books 2 Build Communities’ Reading is a multifaceted process that develops only with practices. There are certain aspects of reading, such as fluency and word recognition, which can be learned in few years. These basics must be mastered but all the same, reading comprehension should be emphasized in the process. Students can parrot words on a page all day long but if they do not have the necessary comprehension skills, they will not be able to make predictions about what will happen next, monitor their understanding of content, sequence or characters, clarify confusion parts of the text, or connect what they’re reading to their own experience or prior knowledge. Lack of strong reading comprehension skills obviously affects a student’s success in school. Academic progress depends on understanding, analyzing, and applying the information gathered through reading. But it goes much further than that.
Finhda has realized that the fundamental step to a child’s education begins with his/her ability to read and write. This is an integral part to the child’s educational success at all levels of life.
Therefore, Finhda is organizing the reading and word quiz competition at the Basic and Junior High schools to help address the poor reading habits of students. The project presents Corporate Ghana an opportunity to reach out to communities and children across the country as a way of empowerment and mentorship in a bid to promote Corporate Social Responsibility, thereby impacting on lives and society at large.

Water, Sanitation & Hygiene (WASH)

Accessibility to safe drinking water, sanitation and hygiene is very critical to the total wellbeing to humanity. Under this module, we educate people on the importance of safe drinking water and keeping their environment clean as well as their body. Clean drinking water, clean environment and taking good care of your body ignites dignity and pride in oneself. Clean environment creates a resilient community.

Charity

As an organization that is committed to helping the poor and needy in society, we always identify where our help is needed most and contribute our quota. Through the collective efforts of our Team and wonderful partners/sponsors, we are able to reach out to these people no matter where they are located. Finhda believes in any initiative that promotes participative democracy, sustainable development, rights, equality, economic opportunity and social justice, through the organization, education and empowerment of people within their communities, whether these be of locality, in urban and rural settings

Education & Advocacy

Any form of exploitation that deprives children from dignity, honour, childhood potential and their physical and mental development must have zero tolerance. We educate and advocate on why this menace should stop unless the child has reached employable age.

Awareness Creation (Film)

We create awareness through film making and stage drama, Poetry recitals and any form of literary works that can be deployed to communicate our intentions properly to the communities we serve.

Counseling

Victims of this menace are taken through rigorous psychological counseling and mentorship. As part of this exercise, we identify them and take them through reintegration and reunification processes. These are basically our mandate under this project

Food Security & Market System Resilience

As the world population surges to 9 Billion people by 2050 and demands on the global food supply soar, the greatest opportunity for profits in agriculture may be in Africa, yet is Africa ready and does Africa have the reliable, accessible, sufficient quantity and affordable nutritious food. Finhda under this module encourages young people to engage in agriculture and use the best practices in agriculture. Another area of interest is how to secure ready market for their produce. We cannot tackle food security if there is no readily available market for their produce, hence food may go waste. The more we talk about the security of food; we must make it more accessible and affordable.

Climate Change

It has a direct impact on food security due to uncertain weather patterns and environmental disruptions. We advocate on human activities that has direct negative impact on the ecosystem and how it can mitigate the impact on food security. That’s what we seek to do. (according to world bank, the number of people suffering acute food insecurity increased from 135 million in 2019 to 345million in 82 countries by June 2022- world economic forum)

Agribusiness

This module is developed to equip youth to take advantage of all the opportunities available in the agriculture supply chains which are not yet tapped through our well thought seminars, workshops or trainings.

Agric Financing & AgriTech

Under this module, youth are taught the application of technology and digital tools to farming and how to empower poor farmers to increase their wealth through agriculture financing and facilitate the development of food value chains for feeding 9Billion people by 2050

Trade & Investment Fairs

Exports can account for a significant source of wealth for well connected economies. International trade results in increased efficiency and allows countries to benefit from foreign direct investment (FDI) by businesses in other countries. With the establishment of African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), we strive to connect various diplomatic missions in Ghana to trade amongst themselves by organizing fairs and business executive meetings.

Educate & Advocacy

There are 1.8 billion young people aged 10-24 in the world—the largest youth population ever In order to build a better world for all, we need to address gender inequality and discrimination at an early age. Depending on their gender, girls and boys face significant differences in opportunities and constraints. Educating the youth with the right leadership mindset is the best bet for a better and prosperous world. We take serious exception to any activities that affect the total wellbeing of youth and so under this module, we identify, engage, orient and empower them to take up the boldness to tackle head-on challenges that confront them daily.

Gender Based Violence

Gender based violence affect persons of a particular gender disproportionately and it’s a violation of human rights and a form of discrimination which should not be tolerated in any form or shape. It’s not right and should be dealt with drastically. We at finhda believes that perpetrators should be punished severely and strong punitive measures be laid out to serve as deterrence to potential abusers. In our bid, we envision a world free of human right abusers so that everyone can live happily and enjoy his life as a right. We advocate and create awareness actions by community engagements to discuss this menace.

G.I.R.L.S (Girls In Real Life Situation)

In this module, young girls meet from time to time to discuss purely issues affecting girls which cannot be discussed with close relations or friends. They share thoughts on various aspects of their lives, from their sexuality, marriage, childbearing, and parenting, transitioning from youth to adulthood, education, regenerative health & fitness.

According to the World Giving Index 2018, 63% of people in the UK helped a stranger last year. Why not carry on the trend and hold a door open, give up your seat on the train, or even help someone in need?

Giving unwanted toys to those less fortunate, smiling at someone on the street, holding doors open for people, or visiting a sick relative is still charity because it warms someone's heart.

Spare a thought for those who are homeless or in temporary accommodation. Use our charity search to donate to a homeless charity near you.

Charities really appreciate volunteers and there are likely to be organisations in your community that could use an extra pair of helping hands. Volunteer today!
