ABAN operates a 2-year holistic residency program in Ghana, Africa, that transitions young mothers out of poverty and off the streets of the capital, Accra. After a series of interviews, ABAN selects 20 apprentices aged 17-22 who show a strong desire to work hard to change their situation.
The coursework focuses not only on education and vocational skills but also on health and well-being. Our curriculum takes into account each woman?s innate sense of self. We believe that her identity, dignity, and ability are significantly molded by the health of her body, mind and spirit and her experience is guided by these principles.
