WOMEN EMPOWERMENT
Vulnerable Aid Organization (VAO) believes that empowering women is essential to creating a more equitable and sustainable society. Our Women Empowerment Program focuses on improving the lives of women, particularly in rural and underserved communities, by promoting gender equality, enhancing their economic opportunities, and supporting their reproductive health and rights. Through a combination of initiatives—ranging from Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) programs to agribusiness training—we aim to provide women with the knowledge, skills, and resources they need to thrive.

education
We hold a strong view that education is a powerful tool for transforming lives and communities. Our Education Programs aim to provide children, youth, and adults in underserved areas with the opportunity to learn, grow, and break the cycle of poverty. By improving access to quality education, we seek to empower individuals to achieve their potential, contribute meaningfully to society, and create a brighter future for generations to come. Our main focus is on the basic and senior high schools. Read more here

WASH

Our WASH program aims to address the critical challenges faced by rural and underserved populations, providing them with the resources and knowledge to build a healthier, more sustainable future.

DISABILITY
At the Vulnerable Aid Organization (VAO), we believe in a world where individuals with disabilities are treated with dignity, respect, and equality. Historically, the perception of persons with disabilities (PWDs) in Ghana has been shaped by harmful myths and negative cultural beliefs. Disability was often seen as a curse, witchcraft, or bad luck, leading to widespread stigma, exclusion, and discrimination. As a result, many people with disabilities have faced severe challenges in accessing basic human needs, education, healthcare, and public services.
Our mission is to change these perceptions and create an inclusive society where people with disabilities have equal access to opportunities and the support they need to thrive. Through advocacy, education, and community sensitization, we aim to break down the barriers that perpetuate the marginalization of persons with disabilities in Ghana.
