The Need

A widening gap for Ghana's youngest mothers

Girls who become mothers between the ages of 13 and 18 face interrupted schooling, family rejection, unstable housing, and little access to the childcare that would let them return to education or work.

Ghana's own Care Reform Initiative is pushing providers away from large institutional care and toward small, family-based settings — exactly the model A New Way Village is built on.

Our Program Model

Five Integrated Services, One Goal: Independence

Every resident receives the same core support, designed so each piece reinforces the next.

Housing

A private, lockable tiny home for every mother and child.

Education

Daily literacy, numeracy & life-skills classes.

Job Training

Vocational skills & apprenticeships with local businesses.

Child Care

Supervised childcare while mothers attend classes.

Health Support

Medical care, maternal health & counseling on site.

The Village

From 5 homes to a self-sustaining compound

Phase 1 builds five private tiny homes and a shared commons building for schooling, job training, childcare and health support. Phase 2 adds five more homes — ten households, one community.

  • Private, lockable tiny home for every household
  • One commons building serving every resident on site
  • Family-style compound layout, not a dormitory shelter
