Values

To embed social inclusion, gender parity, and social protection as transformational forces in providing empowerment with renewed hope, and support to the marginalized as well as protecting the integrity of the environment.

To envision a community in which all people, women, and children thrive to pursue meaningful lives to contribute to the construction of a just community with equal opportunities, and security.

According to the Government of Ghana's Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection,

"Level of Education of the Vulnerable Individuals and School Enrollment of Children (4 -15 years)

Out of the 80,000 vulnerable individuals captured, about 50% (i. e. 34, 380) had no formal education, another 25% (19, 280) had only primary education. The remaining 25% had at least JHS/JSS education.

Also, among the 9, 012 children of school going age (i. e. 4 to 15 years), the percentage of males and females in school was 84% and 78% respectively. Also, the remaining who were not currently enrolled in school were mostly (64%) female. Reasons for which some of the children were not in school were either because they were homeless, or they were orphans or had no guardians." (2020)

According to a data dissemination report issued by the GNHR today, data was collected on approximately 80,000 poor and vulnerable persons. It revealed that 62% of the vulnerable individuals were female with about 50% aged 18 – 39; about 20% aged 40 – 59; and 10% aged 60+; and the remaining under 18 years.

“Over 60% of vulnerable individuals sleep in kiosks, containers, markets, uncompleted structures, on the streets, bus or lorry stations, chop bars or drinking spots, and at the beaches, exposed to natural hazards. Only very few people sleep in compound houses, mostly in overcrowded rooms”, the reported added." (2020)

DONATE TO ESI'S EMERGENCY SUPPORT FUND

CEFGASI needs your help in assisting one of our current youth survivors. Maame Esi's journey represents the challenges faced by many children who have experienced abuse and adversity. Despite her harrowing experiences, she has shown incredible strength and a fierce determination to transcend her past and build a brighter future.

EMERGENCY SUPPORT

Currently, Maame Esi is endeavoring to continue her education and pursue her dreams. However, she, along with many others, is confronted with financial obstacles that threaten to impede their progress. With limited resources at their disposal, they struggle to meet basic needs, let alone finance their educational pursuits. At the Center for Gender and Social Inclusion, we firmly believe in creating a level playing field where every individual has the opportunity to flourish, regardless of their background or past experiences.
