IGI
conducted various activities under four important portfolios which were been:
Community Development, Education, Healthcare, Youth and Women empowerment and
Voluntary Services.
EDUCATION
IGI donated
various educational and learning materials to some schools which were novels,
exercise books, pens, pencils, erasers, mathematical sets and others to pupils.
These gestures from IGI in education in general have gone along way of
enhancing the improvement of education in the beneficiary schools and in the
lives of the pupils.
HEALTH CARE
IGI did a
number of activities in its catchment areas towards the general improvement of
quality health care delivery in Ghana. IGI organized health sensitization
programs on malaria, personal hygiene, berhazia in some communities. IGI also
donated some mosquito nets to some pregnant women and children in these rural
communities in 2015. IGI also supported the treatment cost of some people who
fell on the NGO for various assistances on medical treatment at tertiary
hospitals.
IGI will
definitely work towards the improvement in the coming years so as to feed into
the general vision of ensuring qualitative health care delivery in the country.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
In the year
2015, IGI performed numerous projects in some communities aimed at improving
communities’ assets as well as imparting positively on the qualitative livelihood
of the people. Additionally, to equip development aid workers and donors with
some reliable data on some rural communities that were in dire need of
supports, IGI conducted some community profiling. The projects were carried to
collect data on demography, health and education issues, sources of livelihood
and other relevant information for development planning on communities.
VOLUNTEERING
Youth work camps
IGI
organized youth work camps that provided both local and foreign volunteers the
opportunity to interact with rural communities and harnessed the competence of
the communities in addressing some challenges in some deprived communities.
Placement of volunteers
IGI recruited local and foreign volunteers in 2015 and placed
them in some institutions that had requested for volunteers to perform some
activities in these institutions in Health, Education, Community Development,
Child care. These volunteers have been actively been engaged as Teaching
Assistants helping substantive Ghanaian teachers in the teaching of
Mathematics, General Science, English, Creative Arts, I.C.T. and child care.
These volunteers contributed immensely in the improvement of education in Ghana
in 2015.
IGI hopes to
continue creating opportunity for altruistic youths living anywhere on the
globe to be part of sustainable pursuit of development in Ghana through
volunteerism in the coming years. Why not choose something different for your 2016 New Year Resolution?
Rather than just making a goal to improve yourself, how
about committing to helping others next year? 2016 is the year that you
can make an impact and inspire in the lives of others by volunteering abroad with Inspire Global Ideas .
YOUTH AND WOMEN EMPOWERMENT
IGI
organized various activities aimed at empowering the youth and creating
leverage for women especially in the rural areas to be able to take care of
their children. These activities included skills training presentations for
women and entrepreneurial seminars for some youths. These afforded the beneficiaries
to be endowed with other reliable sources of creating decent sources of
livelihood for themselves.
IGI will
continue to extend these gestures to women and youths I deprived communities in
other to alleviate the plight of the vulnerable.
