CRRECENT pursues projects to empower vulnerable young women in rural communities economically and psycho-socially through the provision of vocational skills training, counseling and micro credit. This project is part of our girl child empowerment programme for creating conditions for self-employment for mothers, especially teenage mothers (single parents) to increase their family income to reduce family poverty and increase chances for the girl child to progress from basic school to Senior Secondary School and the University. The Programme is part of the girl child empowerment for leadership and reintegration package for the released juveniles from Correctional Centers and Remand Homes in Ghana.<\/p>\n
