More Information
- Major or Current Achievements *: Since its inception of operations in 2015; GOWIC has carried out the following programmes and initiatives: 1)GOWIC in collaboration with the Global Environment Facility (GEF)under the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is currently undertaking a project on ‘Enhancing the capabilities and resilience of persons with disabilities in Bolgatanga and Bongo communities to cope with climate change whilst investing in sustainable land management and plastic waste management.’ Under the program, GOWIC has trained People with Disabilities (PWDs) in districts the Bolga Municipal and Bongo District on using Single-use plastic waste (pure water sachets, takeaway polythene bags etc.) to weave doormats. The program which started in December 2017 has so far produced about 400 doormats, shopping bags, purses, hats. 2)Recycling of plastic rubber waste into baskets, ropes and hats. The project, funded by GOWIC, trained women and youth to weave baskets, hats, and ropes using plastic rubber waste (pure water sachets, ‘takeaway rubbers’ etc.). The pilot programme currently has training & weaving centers at Akature, Tindonsolibgo in the Bolgatanga Municipality, Zorko, Zorko Goo, Gowrie, Kukumwa, Yariga and Vea in the Bongo District and Kongo in the Nabdam Districts. But for GOWIC these would have been pollutants since it is non-biodegradable. 3) GOWIC has carried out feasibility study in communities within the Bolgatanga Municipality on the menace of open defecation. This is line with our plan to work to ameliorate if not eliminate the menace of open defecation in The Bolgatanga municipality and its environs by 2023 and, review and re-strategize for total elimination of the menace by 2030. By this we have been sensitizing these communities on the dangers of open defecation. 4)GOWIC has established Sanitation Ambassadors in eight (8) Basic/Junior High Schools in Bolga Municipal and the Bongo District Currently,we are embarking Organic farming with people with disabilities in the Bongo district of the Upper East Region of Ghana
