@Inspire Africa launches website

Accra, Aug. 30, GNA - @Inspire Africa, a non-governmental Organization (NGO), has launched its website to interact with stakeholders and the general public.

The website is a platform to provide information about the NGO; its vision, objectives, projects lined up by the organization and also allow people and organizations to interact and support the NGO.

A statement from the NGO said it also helps guide and equip school children to evaluate and make informed careers decisions, through workshops, immersions, counseling, clinics, talk shows, orientations and social advocacy; using inspiring stories of beneficiaries.

This is done in collaboration with school authorities, parents, religious institutions, career counselors and other stakeholders.

'Through this mechanism school children are introduced to an array of career alternatives and are also exposed to the nature, function and the roles of different occupations in real work situation,' it said.

'@ Inspire Africa also educates school kids on social responsibility. We encourage the kids to take up a social or humanitarian cause to advance the well being of others- kids can contribute to an existing noble/social cause or identify new areas of concern that needs attention, the founder of the NGO Kenny Nii Tackie Tagoe said.

He said: 'great things can come out of Africa and this would happen when our human resource is harnessed, honed and re-directed towards social progress. This must start with the children of today.'

Bishop James Saah, Gabby Adjetey and Bruce Mac, patrons of the organisation who are all exemplary leaders, share in the vision of a better Africa tomorrow through empowering the children of today and that is why they have associated themselves to give the organisation direction and the support it requires.

@Inspire Africa's operations will primarily be in Ghana and West Africa for the next couple of years but plans to expand to cover the whole continent in the long term.

The organisation is calling on donors; corporate organisations, embassies, religious institutions, foundations and philanthropist all over the world to contribute towards this humanitarian cause.
