Dream Africa has implemented the Skills Development and Livelihood Empowerment Program in five (5) districts of the Volta region, aimed at providing practical skills training to individuals in need, empowering them to achieve financial stability and self-reliance. The program focused on marginalized groups, including unemployed youth, women, and vulnerable populations, enabling them to acquire marketable skills, create income-generating activities, and build sustainable livelihoods. Through this initiative, participants have gained the confidence and ability to take charge of their lives with dignity and determination.
