In order to realise the vision of the organisation, all the programmes and activities of the organisation will be targeted towards the following:
The African Youth Empowerment and Development Ghana is a non-governmental organization that is dedicated to empowering the youth in Ghana and beyond. AYED, Ghana aims to create a platform for young people to connect, grow and succeed in business, industry, and politics. The organization offers training, mentoring, networking, and strategic alliances to help young people reach their full potential. AYED, Ghana recognizes the importance of youth empowerment and activism and aims to provide opportunities for all young people to feel competent, useful, and empowered.
This village is over nine centuries old. Shiare is the paramount seat of the Atwode people and is affectionately called the ‘hanging village’ as a result of its architectural design. The houses are virtually built into the mountain, making them look as though they are hanging. The name ‘hanging village’ was given to them by Europeans due to how far apart they were from the rest of the people within the region many years ago. The Shiare people are predominantly farmers, and they produce natural honey.
Situated in Kyabobo Park, it is about 30 meters high. There is the upper fall and the lower fall and the accompanying singing of birds, shrills of monkeys, and cries of animals, and the forest canopy gives tourists a wonderful sense of satisfaction. The waterfall serves as the only source of water for the community, and it’s about 40 40-minute walk from the Shiare village.
The Two “Breast Mountains” viewed from the Nkwanta Township are a welcome signal to the park. On top of these mountains, a panoramic view of the underlying plains, villages, and the Volta Lake offers the climbers a unique impression of the natural beauty of the park and other parts of Ghana. There are also camping sites in the park to suit the taste of lovers of nature and Eco-tourism.
Kyabobo National Park (pronounced CHAY-a-bobo), a newly created Park in the Atwode traditional area, is located in the Nkwanta district of the Northern Volta Region. This park, which covers an area of 359.8 km,² is found in the Dry semi-deciduous forest zone and has both forest and savanna species of plants and animals. Its forests contain the nationally endangered endemic tree Talbotiella Gendtii.
The reserve was established in 1997. Ghana’s second-highest mountain, Mount Dzebo, is contained within the park and offers visitors an impressive view of Lake Volta. The National Park is recognized internationally as a unique mountainous conservation area with stunning views and well-protected wilderness.
Animals common to the park include Buffalo, Kob, Warthog, Aardvark, and Baboon. Threatened species of animals, with adequate protection, may recover, including Lion, Elephant, Bongo, Reedbuck, and Hartebeest, which may recolonize the Park from the adjacent Fazao National Park in the neighboring country Togo.

The park offers challenging multiple-day hikes through its rugged terrain, mountain biking, game viewing hides, shrines, and sacred gro,ves as well as interesting cultural experiences.
