Empowering Women Through Automotive Technology, Skills, and Opportunity
Our Mission
West Africa Jeep Adventures for Women and Orphans (WAJA) helps women gain the technical, digital, personal, and entrepreneurial skills needed to participate in the future of automotive service and mobility.
WAJA equips women and orphans in Ghana with automotive technology training, life skills, financial literacy, personal development, and business readiness so they can build stable lives, support their families, and become leaders in their communities.
Our Vision
WAJA envisions a future where women in Ghana and West Africa are leaders in technology-enabled automotive service, diagnostics, EV readiness, and mobility infrastructure.
We believe women should not only participate in the automotive industry — they should help shape its future.
Our Story
WAJA launched its pilot program in 2024 through a shared garage partnership in Ghana. This allowed the organization to begin quickly and expose trainees to real vehicles, real tools, real customer expectations, and the discipline required in an automotive service environment.
The pilot began with 29 women. Due to family obligations, health-related challenges, transportation needs, and other life pressures, some participants were unable to continue.
Today, 17 women remain actively committed, including 3 orphans.
These women are now ready for the next phase: completion of training, technology-enabled learning, incubation, personal development, and preparation for long-term income and independence.
