Projects

W3 Initiative works in Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights to ensure the protection of the basic health and sexual rights of minority groups. We work particularly to support migrants that are into commercial sex to protect them against HIV/AIDS and other STIs. Commercial sex is illegal in Ghana and Commercial Sex Workers (CSWs) face high discriminations which increase their vulnerability to HIV infection and transmission to their sex partners. W3’S specific role includes providing HIV prevention education to CSWs people and people at a high risk of acquiring or transmitting HIV.

This project aims at advocating for the rights of the alleged witches and refugees in Ghana by addressing SDG 2 Zero Hunger.
W3 initiative provides food, clothing and basic needs on regular basis to various alleged witches camp and refugees camps in Ghana. These inmates are unable to farm, attend public gatherings, go to school or hospital without being called names, which has affected them psychologically and mentally which has caused depression. Through this project we are able to feed more than 200 inmates.

As a women-led NGO, W3 Initiative works to ensure the protection of Women’s Human Rights Defenders (HRDs) as enshrined in the Ghanaian Constitution, Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other instruments.

W3 works with women and girls in the rural parts of the Ashanti Region of Ghana to address water pollution. 60% of Ghana’s water bodies are polluted due to mining activities (Water Resources Commission).

Data from the NPHC and other sources show that Ghana has between 1.55-2.2 Million persons with various forms of disabilities; with women and girls constituting around 64%. While women and girls are in huger percentage of these demographics, they are the most marginalized and vulnerable in accessing digital education and employment opportunities.
The increasing economic and social importance of digital technologies, justify that disparities and biases exacerbate existing inequalities experienced by WGWDs rather than reduce them.

We enhance capacity building of women and youth in Ghana through Technical, vocational education and training such as Cosmetology, craft, catering, technology and entrepreneurship. Trainees also receive entrepreneurial and business modelling training to equip them to setup and manage their businesses.

The project also retains 40% of trainees in the SHE -VET hub where they will be employed to render their services to institutions and the general public. The project which targets all 16 regions in Ghana, classifies its target group into various groups based on their respective challenges and capacities.
