Starting from the beginning

-


Whenever women come into our office for help and advice they always complain that the wish they had knew sooner how to plan and formulate strategies for their future, they keep telling us that if they had know better or had been told they would not be in the position they are now. So we at The Jedidiah Trust came together to form a group that will ‘catch them young’ .When we go to the districts to train women on entrepreneurship, micro finance, good business practice and business expansion. Another group visits the secondary schools to run a special presentation to the girls. We call it The Arise Youth Training Program©. The program is specially designed to motivate these girls and help them plan, visualize and strategize for their future.
The first Arise Youth Training Program© was at the T. I. Ahmadiya Secondary school in Fomena- Adansi North District in the Ashanti Region. It was an exhilarating experience the girls were very enthusiastic and interactive. We also had a good friend of The Jedidiah Trust , Funke all the way from Nigeria who had her own décor and cake business. The girls were very inspired! I even had a phone call from one of the girls at 3:00am!
