PROJECT
Part of: Dream Village

Empowering rural women with indiginous weaving and fashion skills

About


 
The Mastermind project is an initiative inspired by the Dream Village Training Project in partnership with the Vera Blazek Creativity & Innovative Foundation and Click A Tree
It was launched late last year (2021) in the Nantong Zuo rural community; one of the deprived communities in the Northern region of Ghana. 
Currently, twelve (12) ladies who were engaged to participate in the tree planting have been enrolled on the Mastermind project. This initiative was created to give these young ladies a career and hope for the future. Most of them; victims of early marriage, domestic violence, teenage pregnancy, school dropout who have had little or no education, have been given the
opportunity to learn a trade. They also go through agricultural extension training on backyard gardening. They plant trees during their spare time and help water them during the dry season, in exchange the get training and training materials to enhance their trade and also some allowance to care for their families
The girls now have their individual backyard gardens where they cultivate
vegetables.
The Mastermind Skills Training and Business Development Centre is for fashion designing and smock weaving centre which started under an open shed has now moved to one block facility with the help our partners and  supporters like you.
The new centre is spacious, has a washroom and is easily accessible.
