Social impact Statement Since our establishment, YOVI has provided over 364 eligible rural women with revolving loans to better the lives. These loans are provided along with skills training and educational programmes to ensure that all participants come together to learn and support each other in their ventures. We have reached over 34 basic schools and 1,780 in-school youth on SRHR education and services within the Tamale Metropolis and its environs. Young people, mostly adolescents are organized into clubs and through a round table discussion, deliberate issues concerning their sexuality, education, child rights & responsibilities, and carrier development. We have successfully supported 280 women located in our project communities to embark on agriculture production in variety of crops such as maize, soybean and millet. |
