🧵 Sewing Hope, Stitching Resilience

For Victoria Atiesiba, a young apprentice tailor from Yabrago in the Tempane District, a sewing machine is more than a tool; it is a pathway to independence and a better future for her family.

After her machine broke down, Victoria had to share one with another apprentice, slowing her work and limiting her learning. Through the STRIVE Project, implemented by NORSAAC and partners, with support from GCERF, she received a new sewing machine after completing her apprenticeship and business development training.

Today, Victoria can work independently, strengthen her skills and build a sustainable livelihood.

And when her old machine is repaired, she plans to give it to another apprentice facing the same challenge.

One machine. One opportunity. One more step towards resilience. 🧵

UNICEF Ghana and the Japan Committee for UNICEF (JCU) visited to observe the implementation and impact of the Promoting Adolescent Safe Spaces (PASS) Project.

After an engagement at the NORSAAC Head Office, the delegation travelled to Woribogu in the Tolon District, where they observed a Safe Space session on teenage pregnancy as a driver of child marriage. They also interacted with adolescents through a focus group discussion, gaining firsthand insights into their experiences, child protection concerns, and recommendations for strengthening the project

The team paid a courtesy call on the Chief and elders of Woribogu, who expressed appreciation for the intervention and reaffirmed their commitment to supporting efforts that create safe and supportive environments for adolescents, especially girls.

We appreciate UNICEF Ghana and JCU for taking the time to see, listen to, and learn from the communities and young people participating in PASS. Their visit reinforces the importance of keeping adolescent voices at the centre of efforts to strengthen child protection and prevent child marriage.

Together, we are creating safer spaces where adolescents are heard, supported, and empowered to thrive.

Safe shelters must be more than buildings; they must provide sustained protection, dignity and support.

NORSAAC welcomes the Government of Ghana’s commitment to expand SGBV shelters across all 16 regions. As this initiative moves forward, we call for sustainable financing, quality and survivor-centred care, clear national standards, meaningful CSO engagement, and strong referral systems to ensure survivors can access safe and confidential support when they need it.

The success of this initiative should be measured not only by the number of shelters built, but by the quality of care survivors receive.

On Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Day, we remember a leader whose vision placed the wellbeing, dignity and progress of all people at the heart of national development.

At NORSAAC, we continue to believe that development must be measured by the lives it improves especially for women, children, young people and marginalised communities.

We remember. We reflect. We renew the commitment to people-centred development.

HAPPY KWAME NKRUMAH MEMORIAL DAY!

At its recent press conference, the Citizens Platform on Constitutional Reforms (CPCR) presented its Civil Society Position Paper on Ghana’s Constitutional Reform, outlining areas it supports, and provisions it wants Government to reconsider.

One of the issues addressed is the proposal to expand Parliament from 276 to 300 MPs. CPCR supports proportional representation but proposes exploring a system within the existing 276-seat ceiling.
