The Witch-hunt Victims Empowerment Project of Ghanaian Simon Ngota has been working with witch-hunt refugees for over 20 years and has been based in Gushiegu since 2010. The organization gives the women a safe shelter and aims to educate people. It’s about proving that the belief in witches s a misbelief and that witches who wreak havoc with black magic simply don’t exist. Simon Ngota's goal is to rehabilitate the women and free them from the stigma of being witches so that they can return to their villages and their real lives.

This work is very challenging because the witch mania is deeply rooted in the culture of the country and financial resources for the issue are very limited.

With the support of the NGO Banabas Dalabra can continue the work of Simon Ngota, who has since passed away.

Under the new name Outcast Support Project, the NGO continues to campaign against the persecution of witches through education and persuasion and helps to ensure that the new law does not remain a hollow phrase. donation page
