In Kukuo community, a project was initiated to address two critical needs: equipping women and girls with vocational skills for economic empowerment and enhancing access to clean water. Using the Innovators Compass and a community-led development approach, the community identified vocational training for women and girls as a feasible initiative to support self-employment and economic participation. This initiative involved forming a dedicated group of women and girls, with elected leaders and a contribution plan, to help sustain the project. The skills training has enabled participants to start their own businesses, easing financial burdens and improving their standard of living.

In addition, Kukuo faced limited water access due to reliance on two primary taps. With population growth, the demand for water exceeded supply, creating congestion and reducing access to clean water. To address this, the project aimed to enhance water distribution to individual homes by leveraging existing infrastructure, supported by the Ghana Water Company and the District Assembly. The project engaged all community members, including men, women, children, refugees, and persons with disabilities, who contributed labor, materials, and cash.
