"Just a Dollar" Project

Donation protected
There are many things we tend to take for granted such as, food, water, shelter, and even just a dollar! The “Just a Dollar” project is an initiative created by Women of Value to seek your assistance in raising funds to build a vocational school in Ghana, West Africa.

Women of Value is an organization with the aim to assist women as they walk in their purpose. We target their “inner-me’s” by guiding them towards confronting their challenges from within. The organization which was launched in December of 2017 has been building traction throughout the east coast of the U.S. and has recently expanded internationally. On March 10th, 2018 we had the pleasure of launching the organization including our mentorship program in Accra, Ghana.

Through the program, we’’ve had the pleasure of meeting many amazing women who have brought to light many issues that plague the country. These women have undergone many traumatic encounters which could have been prevented had they been granted access to certain opportunities. Many of these women are now plagued with issues stemming from poverty, domestic abuse, poor marriages, joblessness, homelessness, and many more.

The legacy of the organization is to transform the lives of women we encounter. We have been able to lift the burden of some of these women, and wish to continue to do so by building a vocational school in Ghana which will provide them with a basic post-secondary education and job training for those who are unable to afford universities. The school will comprise of home making, sewing, cosmetology, and entrepreneurship. We strongly believe “education is freedom” and want to create self-sufficiency, an economically independent society, while contributing to the financial welfare of Ghana as a nation.

Building a vocational school will make that possible for young girls and women, by providing hands-on training for those who did not have the opportunity to seek basic education. Along with these things, the school will also provide basic health education such as; HIV and other communicable diseases while ultimately providing a safe haven for the downtrodden.

We are an organization with great need, but few hands. We have assisted many women through coaching, financial empowerment, financial assistance, and training, however, we are looking to move great mountains that can only be done with your help. We want you to partner with us through this journey. With this first goal, we will be able to purchase the land and begin construction. New goals will progressively be set to meet the demands of building a school. 

We thank you so much for taking the time to learn more about us, we ask you to join us with “Just a Dollar”! Learn more about Women of Value here !
