What we’ve been up to
Special Needs Awareness Programme
Hunger and isolation during Covid has been a major problem for our SNAP families, but we are now so pleased to be helping them to recover by restarting our monthly workshops for all three groups, and a twice weekly Play Scheme at our reopened Inclusion Centre.
Small Business Development Programme
Following the difficult times brought by Covid, our innovative Integrated Training Plan for small businesses is back up and running, including the incredibly powerful mentoring process, and is more important than ever. Six of our fantastic VocATE apprentices will also be starting their own businesses early this year!
Access to Education Programme
It is fantastic to see many of the children of Lawra now back in school after long closures – we continue our advocacy work to help every child back to the classroom. We are also supporting eight girls from Biro JHS to go to Senior High School, the first ever girls from this school to attend SHS – an incredibly exciting step!
Our latest posts
The fantastic Charity Kyekpo is out bright and early this Monday morning making sure our girls have access to sanitary products. It costs just £1 per month to give a girl dignity during her period, we love this simple work and the difference it makes 💪🏿🦸🏾♀️ #girlpower
I absolutely love this! ❤️
We’re making sure that all of our mothers of disabled children have a bicycle. Life is tough with a disabled child in Lawra, so being able to quickly get to the market, hospital or visit a friend is vital. Paschalina and Nyowul proudly received theirs last week 🚲
Thank you to Openwork Foundation for funding this simple but life changing intervention.
