About the innovation

Why did you create this innovation?

We believe that every young person in Ghana possesses untapped potential, the innovation was created to address the need for opportunities that help children identify and develop their unique talents, fostering their social and career growth, particularly in underserved communities like SAMSAM-ODUAMSE in the Ga West municipality of Accra. It aims to bridge the gap in talent development and career guidance for young people...

What does your innovation look like in practice?

The Young and Wise program is a structured after-school program delivered through interactive sessions at the SAMSAM-ODUAMSE community. It incorporates the "RUN & RISE," "LEARN FOR LIFE," and "DISCOVER YOUR PATH" series, offering workshops, mentorship, and activities designed to help children discover their strengths and interests. These activities may include creative arts, problem-solving tasks, skill-building sessions, and opportunities for social and emotional development.

How has it been spreading?

The program has been implemented at the SAMSAM-ODUAMSE community in the Ga West municipality of Accra, targeting children and youth in that area. Further information would be needed to assess the rate and scope of expansion beyond this initial location.

How have you modified or added to your innovation?

We don't just modify rather , we ask participants ,what they really want see at our next events or programs, this gives us ideas as what really the children want than rather given them what we think they need...this creates room including allowing the children to try new things including we the coaches and them coming over and share with the larger groups at the next program through participatory approaches....

If I want to try it, what should I do?

To participate in The Young and Wise program, individuals in the SAMSAM-ODUAMSE community in Accra can enroll in the after-school sessions offered by the Community and Family Aid Foundation Ghana. Further details on enrollment procedures and schedules would be available from the foundation directly.
