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 second grant, Challenging Heights is building on the work and lessons learned in the first grant supporting the “Remedial Education to Restore Hope” program enabling young people to move to the next level of education. In this grant, Challenging Heights is spending more time focusing on psychological counselling and employability skills.
