Overview

Poverty is a reality in contemporary Ghana   especially in rural Ghana. The poverty analysis report of 2009 indicates that about 65% of rural inhabitants in Ghana are poor and can not afford basic human needs. Mostly affected are rural human and the virile youths. Consequently, Ghanaian rural women shoulder the burden of the country’s poverty. Reducing urban-rural disparity and gender inequality is therefore crucial  for our poverty reduction strategy just as mobilizing the potential productivity of  rural people particularly  women  is indispensible to achieve the resilient economic growth  that will  pull people above the poverty  line. At mount  Zion welfare  centre, inc,[MZWC]the city of hope builders we provide exceptional local efforts by fostering community  participation  and empowering people through culturally sensitive education and training. We create systems  change by  investing time, expertise  and funding to improve the quantity  and circumstances of life that reflect values and interests .we earned  the name hope builders because we provide inspirational leadership.

At Mount Zion, we provide the mobilizing link by serving as bridge builders between marginalized rural communities and donors. We encourage the communities to make our programmes their own. In the process, we build in-depth strategic partnership among the business, public and civil society sector and thereby restore peoples self confidence, help them develop expertise and assist in creating new and thriving communities out of the ashes of the old by response with local, indigenous, creative and far reaching solutions that are changing lives- proven innovation programmes and practices that have been developed, and sufficiently tested overtime to meet women and youths need. We strongly believe there is a correlation between a community’s quality of life, their ability to address basic human needs, and to achieve transformation. Education, strategic and effective mobilization of resources and the ability of the poor to work are the links.
