Description:
The Rehabilitation Centre is an Institution established by the Government of Ghana under the auspices of the Ministry of Manpower Youth and Employment through the Department of Social Welfare.
The prime objective of the Centre is to train all categories of Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) in Employable Skills to enable them live independent and dignified lives in Society.
The Centre has been contributing positively towards National Development by harnessing the human resource potentials of a segment of Society that otherwise would have been marginalized.
Since its inception in 1962, it has trained over eight hundred (800) persons with disabilities while training is on going.
In recent times, the focus of the Rehabilitation Centre has been expanded to include Commercial Production and Marketing as a way of generating income to supplement government funding for the Centre and also to help market the products of trainees in order to increase their income levels.
