The Problem

many youth are drop-out of school who have been made to believe that, they are good for nothing, and therefore they resort to alcoholism and other vices in society such as teenage pregnancy and armed robbery. In our communities, there are shortage of food and other social amenities. The youth do not have resource centers and training centers where they can identify their strengths to develop for a living.

Plan of Action

To establish a training center in each of the ten regions in Ghana. I have discussed with some chiefs who are ready to give hundreds of acres of arable lands where we can have farming by the youth. We will train the youth for a maximum of six months to equip them with basic agricultural skills and knoledge to enable them manage pieces of land for either animal production or crop production. The produce will be sold to enable the youth learn some other trades. We will use the proceed to establish ICT centers and other career development interventions at the various centers.
