Opportunities:
Celebrating 13 Resilient Graduates
On Sunday, 16th August 2026, history was made at the Emo Foundation in Kpando as we proudly graduated 13 incredible young women from our Girls Empowerment Project!
What began in 2022 as a research initiative on teenage pregnancy by Belgian intern Caitlin Weyns has blossomed into a life-changing movement. Over the past three years, the Emo Foundation—with the unwavering support of Support Ghana, our Belgian partners, Queenmother Mama Ambadza III, and generous individual donors—fully sponsored these teenage mothers through intensive vocational apprenticeships.
Now, 6 vibrant hairdressers/beauticians and 7 skilled fashion designers are stepping out of apprenticeship and into economic independence, equipped with practical skills, confidence, and dignity to build a brighter future for themselves and their families.
This graduation is far more than a ceremony—it is a celebration of resilience, hope, and community power. Congratulations to our 13 graduates! May your skills open new doors and inspire every young girl to believe that her dreams are possible.

*All work and no play makes jack a dull boy*
After weeks of hard work, most visitors especially students take time to explore Ghana before heading home. It’s their reward for completing an internship, and honestly, they’ve earned it.

That’s exactly what Cato, Karo, Morane, and Nele did after finishing their internship in Kpando, Volta Region. From the forests to the coast, they made time to relax, laugh, and soak in Ghana.

They walked the Kakum Canopy Walkway high above the trees. They stood inside the walls of Elmina Castle and felt the weight of history. They marveled at Nzulezu, the village on stilts, and caught waves in Busua where the surf meets golden sand.

It was all about chilling, bonding, and making memories after long days of work in Kpando.
Cato, Karo, Morane, and Nele ,you were amazing students. Sharp, respectful, and full of life. Emo and the whole team really enjoyed having you around.
Go make your mark on the world. Ghana and Emo foundation will always be here to welcome you back.

"Our visitors from Belgium, Odisee, Thomas More and KdG are totally getting immersed in the energy of our cultural dance night! 💃 The beats of the borborbor drums are getting everyone on their feet, and they're loving every moment of it 😊. From the traditional borborbor dance to the foot-stamping Agbadza moves, it's a night of pure thrill and cultural connection! 🕺
