About Capacity rural internationalOur local partner, Capacity Rural International (CRI), is a community-based organization that collaborates with traditional leaders, women, parents, and youth. They have identified their primary priority as education with additional goals of gender equity and community empowerment.
CRI was created by Walisu, who explains, "I started CRI because of my life story as a young boy who lost my Dad at the age of 8 and was adopted by my uncle who couldn't afford to provide for me. I had to cater for myself at a young age by being a shoe shiner, cleaning gutters of government residential bangalores, weeding, and more... just any thing to get some money and support myself in school. At some point in my life, hunger was something normal. To cut a long story short, all this hunger and no school or supplies made me want to start something that could create a change and chance for children and youth in rural communities in Northern Ghana to get access to education and empower women in communities. So, creating change in the rural communities is why I founded CRI." |
