MUSICAL INSTRUMENT TRAINING
We have been inspired by visiting so many schools, community leaders and talking to children about the exciting opportunities available to children in music education and the result was gargantuan. We have also taken on board ideas and advice from music specialists, music advisors around the country and we believe that practicing musical instruments at childhood is associated with enhancing verbal ability and non-verbal reasoning.
We are dedicated to restoring music education in Ghana’s public school, communities, remote villages and also raising awareness about the importance of music as part of each child’s complete education.

The Skills Training will be leading the way in delivery of community services and vocational training skills across the communities. We will offer the youth the highest quality training and assessment services across a number of programs, including the following:
BUILDING MAINTENANCE TRAINING
It is well known in Ghana that maintenance is not part of our culture and that has coursed a lot of problems such as collapsing of individual’s homes, public schools, state owned properties and community buildings.
Ironically, when family member dies, no matter the circumstance, the head of the family will look for funding to renovate the family home before the burial ceremony, the building will see another renovation unless another one is gone. Reward Foundation will like to step in and educate the communities about impotence of maintenance and establish community volunteers groups in order to take responsibilities in their own communities. We like to cure that myth and educate the community about the importance of maintenance.
LEATHER ART PROGRAMS
The program is vision to make Ghana the heart of leather art such as shoes, bag, belt and leather art design and making. We will offer great opportunities to the youth in the Leather Art work. The programs intended to provide youth with a comprehensive view of the leather Art industry and the essential elements for success. Leather Art Program offers an opportunity for youth to express both creative and technical skills while acquiring a working understanding of how to design, produce, merchandise, and market leather products.
Reward Foundation will have superior contacts in the Industries of Leather Art that and translate into real career opportunities for the youth. The foundation will have industry professionals who will teach the creative, technical and business aspects of Leather Art. The youth will visit factories, manufacturers, designer office and showrooms to learn about the processes of shoes and bag making firsthand from concept to production and marketing.
UNDERSTANDING LEATHER
Leather
is an adaptable and durable material used extensively in the fashion industry
today. With so many functional and decorative properties it is used to
produce garments, footwear and handbags as well as luxury leather goods.
For example, discuss leather sourcing, terminology and the impact of technology
on finishing techniques along with new trends in leather and also examine why
leather varies so much in quality and price by looking at grades of leather and
studying samples to gain an understanding of the different skins and hides.
We will organize course that will look and selecting appropriate leathers for the product and examine the diversity of leather from stretch to exotic grains.
SMALL LEATHER ACCESSORIES
We will organize course that’ll get valuable hands-on experience, make patterns and do prep work for making small leather goods and belts. It’s a chance to teach traditional leather craft techniques to make our people creative and personalize their own works.
We will organizing series of tasks to teach the youth different techniques, construction methods and application of fastenings including knots, buckles, buttons and toggles, fringes, plaiting, strap cutting, traditional and creative seams (machine and hand sewn). Practical projects will include simple bags/purses, mobile/iPod cases, pencil cases, belts and belt purses, table mats or coasters, purse, mobile/camera cover etc.
