During a ceremony to induct Nana Adwoa Insaidoo<\/strong> as the Ministry’s 5th National President, she lamented the growing popularity of betting, lotteries and other gambling activities among young Ghanaians, describing it as a destructive trend that threatens their future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With a firm stance against the normalisation of gambling, Insaidoo pledged to steer the Ministry toward an aggressive youth empowerment agenda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOur mission is to uplift vulnerable communities by equipping the youth with skills, guidance and access to job opportunities,\u201d she said, according to MyJoyOnline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n GHACOE, a non-denominational Christian movement, has long championed entrepreneurship as a tool for transformation. Since its inception in 1983, the Ministry has trained women and at-risk groups in bead-making, tie-dying and other crafts – initiatives that have already had a tangible impact on communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Education leader and GHACOE advocate, Theodosia Jackson<\/strong>, echoed the call to action, praising the Ministry’s track record in empowering women and youth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cRather than spending time at prayer camps searching for miracles, young people must focus their energy on productive ventures that create real opportunities,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n GHACOE’s outreach spans beyond skills training. The organisation regularly visits prisons and police cells, providing not only spiritual guidance and donations but also vocational training to help inmates reintegrate into society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As GHACOE <\/strong>marks a new chapter under Insaidoo’s leadership, the call is clear: more support, more action, and a united front against underage gambling.<\/p>\n\n\nImpact on communities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
