Our Core Initiatives

1. The Schools in Tamale – East & West

Two safe learning spaces for up to 60 children aged 2–12:

• East School: A stable start and foundation for the youngest.
• West School: A supportive place for older children from vulnerable homes, often with difficult backgrounds.

2. SafeSteps – Breaking Isolation for Women

Group programs for women living in silence or with poor networks – some facing violence, shame, or economic dependence.

We focus on building skills, confidence, and networks so they can take ownership of their lives and futures.

3. PowerSteps – Discipline and Belonging Through Sport

An outdoor boxing program for young men at risk.

They gain training, mentorship, and a positive path forward – away from crime and radicalization, which is becoming a growing concern in Ghana.

4. GuideSteps & StepUp Ventures – Parents and Youth as Change Agents

We equip parents with knowledge, structure, and community – with child psychology as a core theme.

We help young people and parents start their own initiatives and create sustainable incomes.

5. HairBank – Social Entrepreneurship for Women

In partnership with HairBank, we offer young women without education the chance to learn hairdressing from scratch – combined with business skills, customer service, and hygiene training.

For many, it’s their first step toward financial independence.

How We Work

• Local Leadership: All our projects in Tamale are led by local leaders.
• Volunteer Board: In Denmark, the board works entirely on a voluntary basis – and leadership members personally contribute financially to the projects.
• Only Local Staff Are Paid: Salaries are only paid to employees in Ghana.
• Direct Investment: We invest in our own initiatives, ensuring every donation reaches the project directly.
