What We Do
We provide women in Banko and its surrounding areas with opportunities for education and employment, all founded on principles of equality and solidarity.
Skill training
At our Learning Center we offer a safe space for education, meetings, and dialogue. Currently, we run two courses: a sewing workshop and a hairdressing course, both taught by local women for local women. Additionally, we equip our students with essential knowledge on entrepreneurship, health, household management, and resilience skills.
Job opportunities
BWO Hostel offers employment to some of our students but also serves as a platform for hospitality training. It’s where we showcase and sell products crafted by our talented students at the Learning Center. The proceeds from our guests’ stays and tour bookings directly support the Banko Women Organization’s initiatives.
