Green Africa Youth Organization is a youth-led, gender balanced, environmental organization committed to environmental protection and the recently launched Sustainable Development Goals through youth empowerment and volunteering opportunities.

As part of our mission to support the global goals, our Programs Manager – Ms. Ansah Boatemaa developed the Palm Weevil Farming project to provide alternative livelihood for unemployed youth and ultimately, provide affordable nutritious food for rural communities.

The rate of unemployment in most rural communities within the southern sector of Ghana keeps increasing while malnutrition seems to be a chronic situation in some, if not all, of the communities. The project will provide sustainable entrepreneurship model and train youth – to trade palm weevil diets, and to farm palm weevils.
