Sheltered Vocational Workshops

These give training and employment in vocational and daily living skills to those who are older. The mature students 17 years and over, some of whom are able to read and write simple sentences and have reached a moderate level of productivity, work as trainees with very little supervision. The students also receive continuous education in literacy numeracy and computers.

Items made at the workshop include:

- Christmas and all purpose cards
- basketry
- trays, stools and beds with woven bases
- doormats, and woodwork
- batik and tie-dye material
- table cloths and scatter-cushions
- hand sewn Ghanaian dressed dolls

The trainee workers receive allowances from the sale of items they make so that they also feel a sense of achievement in life like their 'normal' counter-parts.
