Challenging Heights

Ghana is a source and destination country for trafficking: the practice of buying and selling children that leads to the worst forms of child labor and exploitation. Challenging Heights supports at-risk and poor families to ensure that young people are protected and rescued from trafficking and child labor and reintegrated into school.

With EMpower’s third grant, Challenging Heights continues the work of previous grants focused on creating opportunities to improve their livelihoods such as advancing their education, enhancing their professional networking skills, and developing leadership skills. In this grant, Challenging Heights is focusing on employable skills so participants can further their education, get jobs, and save money.
