As part of it’s workplace giving scheme, the staff of the African Women’s Development Fund (AWDF) has provided women prisoners at Nsawam Female Prison with a range of items including an industrial sewing machine, knitting machine, fabrics, threads and a range of sewing accessories valued at approximately US$1400. These items were donated by staff of AWDF in order to support women prisoners learn skills which will help them gain employment/a means of making a living once they re enter the outside world.
AWDF staff participate in an internal Workplace Giving Programme which is funded by optional monthly deductions from staff salaries. In previous years AWDF staff have supported the Mothers Hostel at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital through the provision of a water tank for the unit.
