Cagintua e.V. in cooperation with OMEGA project management Ghana have successfully carried out project YEIS (Youth employment and income security) in Ghana. This project was carried out to train young women as mobile hairdresser. These young women are now in the position of working and earning income.
“Human right violation issues are a growing phenomenon in the entire African Region and particularly more so in Sub-Sahara Africa and for that matter Ghana. There are times that citizens especially girls, in defence of their self-human right and dignity, migrate from their home towns or villages to cities or unknown destinations mostly just to avoid harmful socio-cultural practices. When this happens, these migrants need to be protected where ever they go. They need to be supported to live in dignity. We cannot drive them back of their local families that have become a living threat to their very human dignity and right. They need to be clothed, housed and fed. The most surely sustainable way of ensuring their self-confidence and dignity in this is to make them capable of earning income in a sustained manner that they are able to make choices and live life decently. It against this back ground that OPMF and Cagintua came up with this concept that has led to this project.” Omega Project Management Ghana.

To make it easier for potential customers to get in touch with the hairdressers, an APP has been developed through where customers and the hairdressers could contact each other for appointments.
