ASIGE implements a wide range of programs that gears towards eliminating extreme poverty within our jurisdictions. Our first approach is about job creation through the basketry development in 2017 follow by reproductive health education and sanitary pads in 2019 and then vocational skills training. This project has been implemented since 2020 giving skills to young people to become business owners. These forms of training include tailoring, Hairdressing, welding, textile weaving amongst others. 72% of all beneficiaries from vocational skills training are teenage mothers and have dropped out of school. ASIGE Basketry project plays an important role in the development of rural Ghana especially women and girls. With just straw from elephant grass ,ASIGE transforms them into innovative and modern stylish products that can replace everything that rubbers are being used for in the home and outdoor events. The miracle baskets of ASIGE currently employ over 400 people in Bolgatanga, Ghana which they earn income to support their families. The income levels of these women moved from 0.25USD per day to 2 USD per day in 2022. The baskets are becoming global products as they are exported to the UK, USA, Netherlands, Spain, Australia, Japan and several countries. These baskets deliver sustainable skills training to rural women including persons with disabilities as well as linking rural women to commercial banking. A purchase of the miracle baskets is an investment that will contribute to the achievement of the 7 of the SDGs that is SDG1 No poverty, SDG 2 Zero Hunger, SDG 3 Good Health and Well-being, SDG 4 Quality Education, SDG 5 Gender Equality, SDG12 Responsible Consumption and ProductionSDG13 Climate Action and SDG 17 Partnership for Goals.
