With a vision to see young unemployed people live their lives with dignity, purpose and hope; Dream Africa creates opportunities for holistic development through three key areas: Education, Skills Development and Social Enterprise. DAVS mission is to provide impetus to entrepreneurship and bring a sense of self-confidence among the poor especially teenage mothers and vulnerable women.
We are focused on breaking the cycle of poverty through empowering vulnerable people especially women and children living in some of Ghana’s poorest communities. This program aims to identify, rehabilitate, and empower the most vulnerable women especially teenage mothers in the Volta region of Ghana. Beneficiaries are economically empowered through skills training and given opportunities through formal education, vocational training, and business start-up capitals.
We create an enabling environment, and economically empower teenage mothers and vulnerable women so that they can be able to support their children and break the cycle of poverty. After 6 years of successful entrepreneurship and vocational training program, we have been able to set up 630 beneficiaries with start-up capitals in small businesses including soap making, tailoring, hairdressing, bread baking and basketry. Through the sale of their products, the beneficiaries make some profits that offers a livelihood to them and their household.
