AIM AND OBJECTIVE/PROPOSAL
Skill acquisitions – As a proverbs say, not all hands are equal. The main idea for the formation of the above organization is to create the awareness that some were born with talent, and others have hidden or trained talent within themselves. Unless tap by an experience person that he or she could benefit from the nice talent within him or her.
The unfortunate ones die with their hidden talent since they do not have sound financial backing. The good book of God spoke about a talent person who had 3,4,2, or 1 trade to make it in life. The one who decided not to apply his small talent by protecting it lose it. However, those who made good use of their talent gain more reward.
The organization accepts that every one has a talent or area that he or she is specialized in. We must help to bring out the best in you, by creating avenue where you can develop or lean fast, no matter your financial backing.
our aim is to adopt a low class community, assist the poor youth to get a trade. Since a sound mind builds a sound body, we can help the authorities in the various low class communities. starting from Asiedu Kateke. Even though not a rich organization, the youth must not expect any payment as monthly salary from the organization, if there is any donation or gifts; the above institution will not hesitate
to share part of it among participants of that group.
We must not think of the money, but what the youth will gain to make his or her future bright. for we must start to do our best, if we succeed or fail. if we succeed, we shall have the benefit of our success, but if we fail, we will know that our failure does not arrive through any fault of ours.The struggle for existence and success is so great that those who rattle their work in a performance manner have no chance of reaching their goal, skills acquisition leading to the key to civilization.
WHY STARTED FROM ASIEDU KETEKE
Among all the over one hundred and thirty district it is Asiedu Keteke which is regarded the poorest district, even though it woes the first that the 1st president of Ghana proclaim independence for the republic of Ghana. Also the 1st constituency in parliament Odododiodio. we have the supreme, court, SFO, Bank of Ghana law school, makola market, children hospital, Usher fort, and James fort prisons, city engineers, electricity company of Ghana head office, national head quarters of scout movement, Shell head office and likes.
however, if you look in term of development the district is lacking. look at the beaches, Salaga market, schools roads, gutters, building employment levels, low poverty level, and high illiteracy rate, teenage pregnancy due to poverty, school dropout, and chieftain disputes here and there .
It is the duty of the authorities to forgot about the politics and create peace among the people to move the district forward in terms of other assistance given to the other district. The organization is choosing this district to create awareness to the authorities to address the above mention issue observed by the organization.
In our effort to help address the above problems, we will select a few youth from this community.Give them good job training for them to help train others in their communities
SPONSORSHIP OR FINANCE
Development partners: this will enable our noble organization to grow very fast and strong. Note: we are to help the authorities to eradicate the spread of malaria and other preventable disease like cholera, typhoid ect for children under 15 years.We go from house to house, village to village, town to town, and from school to school. By helping the people to keep clean and healthy environment. We wish you send us a technical team or a supervising office to facilitate our work. ( As we may need, some working tools which may come from the head of that department.) A secretarial office to conduct the various volunteers groups, a land for skill acquisition training center , to give scholarship for talented skills person by nature especially those on war zone in west Africa (refugees). Trained them on agricultural, engineering, first aid, disastrous prevention, how to become self employed to help others. We shall need transport and food for our trained volunteers to enable us to work very hard to make Ghana a safe place to live in.
We need your financial and material support now for better tomorrow . Note: health, education and the development of the private sector is the three Area for the countries development.
MAIN POINT
Skill Acquisition in communities,
Keeping sanitation,
Health for Children Under 15 years,
Others.
Counting on your cooperation
Yours Faithfully

Si nous nous taisons et ne faisons rien qui pourra le faire à notre place? de fois le silence est complice : il est grand temps de se mettre de bout de dire non et faisant des actions qui accompagnent nos paroles. le changement est un processus de la même manière que le voyage mais il faut oser, essayer, tenter car un seul pas fait pour un long voyage diminue la distance même sans s’en rendre compte.

I WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS EVENT (PROJECT)
I am the Projects Coordinator of Gulu Artilive Peace Artists Organization in Northern Uganda a community based youth Organization planning to apply. Are we qualified to apply?
We are from India, shall we apply for AIDS DAY grant and grant for 16 Days of Activism against Gender Based Violence
To correspond with 16 Days of Activism, The Greater Los Angeles AmeriCorps Alums Chapter is planning a Gender Sensitivity Training event, which will utilize curriculum from the American Friends Service Committee’s Help Increase the Peace Project. The training will be co-sponsored by LA Works, another LA based non profit focusing on community, service learning, and human rights. The title of the event is “Myths about Gender Sensitivity: For males in the US involved in women’s rights groups”.
The agenda will include a group discussion of topics around gender issues, including stereotypes, gender differences, and role-play activities, in which males will be encourage to play the assumed role of a woman in order to become more compassionate about what women endure as humans, though they are often treated like second class citizens.
Communication and conflict resolution exercises, followed by a video and discussion of male feminist Ken Booth, will further reinforce the need for more men to become understanding of the need for gender equality. This pilot project will establish the foundation for a program to be replicated and facilitated to male youth in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and in other areas of Eastern Africa. The international focus is particularly on youth being re-integrated into society commonly referred to as Ex-rebels, who become “New Citizens” with such projects.

bonjour, nous sommes contentes que IANSA prenne des telles initiatives pour appuyer les actions sur terrain de certaines organisations (comme la nôtre, SDIF, asbl) qui n’ont pas beaucoup d’opportunité pour décrocher des financements dans un pays (RDC) où il faut “être connu” pour bénéficier de quelque chose.
Nous osons espérer que nous obtiendrons un financement.
