About Songtaba

Our History

Since 2005, Songtaba has been empowering and supporting women, children and other vulnerable groups in the Northern Region of Ghana.

In response to staggering illiteracy, poverty, and education statistics that place the Northern Region considerably behind the rest of the country, Songtaba works to bridge the gap, working to increase the status of the Northern Region as a whole by promoting the status and rights of women and children especially girls and persons with disability including mental health.

Our programmes address inequality on a variety of fronts. Over the years, Songtaba designed and implemented social safety net programmes to secure the rights and safety of persons accused of witchcraft based on suspicion and allegation and supported the reintegration of these women as well as the disbandment of the alleged witches camps. Work with partners to strengthen educational outcomes contributing to increase school enrolment in Northern Region through Education program.

Songtaba also work to support women and young people empowerment in diverse livelihood programmes in agriculture value chain related and other business development and marketing using digital platforms to promote their business
