IGNITE

Ignite is a collaborative partnership program through which young people within communities are trained to discover and live their true potential in situ.  

 

Pastor Charles, Pastor Emmanuel and Tegha arrived Ghana on the LITC Reach program were received by Footprints365 under the distinguished patronage of Dorothy Gyebi-Ababio.  The program location in Bukoruwa village, Kwehu East District, Eastern Region. We have been introduced to the wonderful work Footprints365 has done since its establishment in 2011. We have also had the opportunity to interact within the communities that they work within.

 

Through several days of discussions on what the theme of the program should be, we decided from the start that it was vital to build upon the foundation set already by footprints. 

Footprint365 is a charity established in Ghana to empower young people 

Footprints have operated for over 11 years and have been able to train ….  In ….. to establish their mission to empower children and youth people through education and training.

 

The next thing we considered is the skills set of the team, Pastor Charles and Pastor Emma have had extensive experience working with young people and Tegha has experience designing and delivering empowerment programs in London and in Cameroon. 

We have also Listened to the community and also considering various sinister events surrounding this program and we are convinced that our work here is to ignite the potentials of young people to be able to live their full potential.
