Dorota has been based in Kumasi for 2 weeks now. She is a volunteer at Edwenase Rehabilitaion Centre. I will be joining her in Kumasi on Sunday and hope to start volunteering soon after.
Edwenase Centre aims to help with the rehabilitation and provision of vocational training to disabled and physically challenged individuals. At the moment there are about 70 residents at the Centre.
Daily training provided includes catering, education, rural craft, hairdressing, dressmaking, needlework, agriculture, and basic numeracy.
Any community member who is disabled or physically challenged is welcome to join in on the activities where vocational training opens up lots of opportunities for income generation and greater access to the workplace.
Edwenase does not have a website at the moment but solidarity projects have accounts of their interactions with the residents and photos of the centre.
