NGO provides $28,000 for Agajajeter projects

ENA Charity Foundation, a non-profit voluntary humanitarian organisation based in Ghana, has inaugurated a number of development projects worth $28,000 at Agajajeter, a farming village in the Manya Krobo District in the Eastern Region.
The foundation whose objective is to help deprived communities on maternal and child health, education and the promotion of alternative income-generating activities, also inaugurated a borehole donated by the former Black Stars coach, Claude Le Roy.
At the function, a village sewing training project was also inaugurated after which books and other teaching materials were presented to the community schools. They were purchased by Millicom Ghana Limited, operators of tiGO.
The foundation has also empowered women in the community with the installation of a gari-processing centre for economic activities.
The President of the Foundation, Mrs Emma Moisan, said in an interview that the foundation intended to create a community-based self-help programme in the community with more than 1,000 inhabitants of which 60 per cent of them were children.
She noted that the programme would focus on providing nutritional and agricultural education as well as counselling for mothers of very low income households to economically empower them.
"This would be replicated across the 10 regions of the country to serve as model communities in the fight against poverty," she added.
Mrs Moisan expressed the hope that through the provision of information to mothers, it would be possible to have a direct and positive impact on the lives of the children in the community.
She added that with the creation of income-generating activities and alternative livelihood practices including farming, irrigation and sewing, the community would ultimately become self-sustaining.
Mrs Moisan said in its early stages, the foundation introduced a programme known as “Place Adoption” where families and individuals from urban centres provided the needs of children of their choice without having to move from their families and communities.
