Title: Building peace at home in Ghana’s cocoa communities: Emmanuel Adja
Year: 2021
Type of Resource: Video
Short Description: This is a video on the story of Emmanuel Adja and his wife Anku Sitsope from the Dodi Papase community in Ghana's Kajebi district. Emmanuel is a farm owner and a recipient of the MASO social and financial education training. Through the MASO programme, he learned how to manage his farm like a business and saved up enough to build a house for his family. The impact of the programme has gone beyond the farm, as Emmanuel improved his public speaking and social skills, and also began taking a more active role at home, helping out with house chores and childcare. MASO is part of the Youth Forward initiative, a partnership led by The MasterCard Foundation, Overseas Development Institute, Global Communities, Solidaridad, NCBACLUSA and GOAL. Within the MASO programme, Aflatoun has been responsible for developing a youth-centred curriculum and providing training on social and financial education, Legal Rights and SRHR.
