Please describe in your own words your community's needs:
RAHE GHANA's projects address several critical needs within the Central Region of Ghana, focusing on education, health, and social welfare. These needs are interconnected and often exacerbate each other when unaddressed. Let's break down the needs based on the provided project descriptions. Support Girls to Stay in School: This project directly addresses the need for increased educational attainment among girls. This is crucial because education empowers girls, improves their life chances, and contributes to community development. Barriers to girls' education in Ghana can include poverty, lack of access to sanitary products, early marriage, and cultural norms. Health for All on Wheels in Central Region, Ghana: This project highlights the need for accessible healthcare services. The "On Wheels" aspect suggests a focus on reaching underserved populations, likely in rural areas, who face challenges in accessing fixed healthcare facilities. This addresses a critical need for preventative care, treatment of illnesses, and health education.

This is a direct response to the challenges girls face in accessing and completing their education. “Support 230 old age people with daily bread.” In Assin Central Municipal, this project addresses the need for social welfare and support for the elderly.

It emphasizes the importance of education and community engagement to change harmful practices. The overarching needs identified by RAHE GHANA are centered around education, health, and social welfare, with a particular focus on vulnerable populations, especially girls and the elderly. These needs are interconnected, and addressing them requires a multi-faceted approach.
