About Us

HISTORY:

GHACOE Women’s Ministry (GHACOE) was established in 1977 in response to a call for a more consistent walk and total obedience to Christ. It was also evident that the social and economic needs of women in a developing nation such as ours became a burden on the hearts of the leadership of GHACOE Women’s Ministry. We identified that Ghanaian women needed to be:

• • Enlightened and trained to strengthen spiritual growth
  • Supported to become economically independent
  • Empowered to enable them to overcome the inherited cultural inferiority complex

Over the past 36 years, GHACOE Women’s Ministry, as an organization, has worked tirelessly in missions to promote the well-being and capacity development of women in Ghana and in other parts of Africa.

MISSION:

GHACOE Women’s Ministry exists to evangelize, disciple and empower women to achieve the fullness in Christ.

VISION:

To see an empowered Christian woman making a difference in the home and the community.

CORE VALUES:

Love God & love others, Integrity, commitment to excellence and to be teachable.

Our goal is to promote a holistic development of women, mainly focusing on the vulnerable, socially and or economically disadvantaged in our community. We believe that we can do this through effectual training of women in order to build stronger families and communities.

In order to provide a quick, yet, sustainable solution to the problems that women face, our strategy is to provide them with training within a one month period. The funding received from Opportunity International Savings and Loans will be used to procure the training materials needed for Skills and leadership training specialising in the following areas of expertise:

• Textiles (including batik and tie/dye),
• Beadwork,
• Cosmetics (powder, hair pomade, body creams)
• Soap making (liquid, cake, powder, alata)
• Food processing/Floor Confectionaries ( bread making, cakes, pies, etc
• Entrepreneurial training

We train women in entrepreneurial and leadership skills to enable them function well within both the business and technical environment required to help them to be economically independent and stable. Women are taken through business management skills such as marketing and sales, start up, business plan, business ethics, how to manage their business capital for growth, how to separating themselves from competition, business accounting and how to sustain their business long term.
