Song-Ba Empowerment Centre is a youth and women-led organization in Ghana, dedicated to empowering survivors of Sexual and Gender Based Violence (SGBV), the youth and returning migrants. We strenghten voices, promote dignity and safety, and build economic resilience through advocacy, skills development, and community action, enabling vulnerable groups to overcome stigma, defend their rights, and realize their full potential.
Our Mission
To empower survivors of Sexual and Gender Based Violence, youth, and returning migrants by strenghtening their voices, promoting dignity and safety, building economic resilience, and advancing community-led advocacy that challenges harmful norms and social exclusion
Our Vision
A society where survivors of Sexual and Gender Based Violence, the youth, and returing migrants live with dignity, safety, equal opportunities, free from stigma and able to actively shape their own futures.
Main Objective
To deliver holistic, survivor-centered interventions that expand access to skills, opportunity, and protection for vulnerable groups, enabling them to defend their rights, overcome social barriers, and achieve sustainable personal and community development.
SONG-BA SKILL INITIATIVE PROJECT (SSIP)
This project gives women and girls adequate skills that would create a livelihood to help support themselves and dependent family members. The Centre runs the following training: smock weaving, smock sowing, and tailoring, which pays them while they are still training
AGAINST KAYAYO (AAK)
This project is geared towards reducing drastically the menace of “kayayo” which is widely practiced by young girls within the Northern Region of Ghana. The organization, therefore, engages young girls and their guardians in communities noted for the trade on its dangers and how detrimental it is to the girls and society.
MY IDEAL LIFE PROJECT (MILP)
As part of our projects, trainees are taken through the essence of a vision for living an ideal life. Coaches train women and girls on how to identify and set life goals, as well as how to achieve those goals. This is to empower their work towards a better life they have always dreamed of achieving. They are guided further to write down their life vision (for those who are able to write) and record their life visions, which they keep listening to over and over till they have been inspired to achieve those goals.
END PERIOD POVERTY (EPP)
This project reaches out to women/girls in rural areas with user-friendly re-useable sanitary pads (DFG kits), as well as educating them on their reproductive health. The main target group is schoolgirls in rural areas; this is to prevent girls from staying away from school during their period due to a lack of menstrual hygiene management kits.
SONG-BA SAVINGS AND LOANS ASSOCIATION (SSLA)
The Song-Ba Savings and Loans Association is a self-managed and self-capitalized saving group that helps the beneficiaries save monies from the sales of their produced products to lend to each other. This would transform the women, mobilizing local savings, which would provide the women with means to cope with emergencies, help manage household cash flow, build a capital base and crucially rebuild social networks, solidarity, and trust.
