The Corner Stone Brotherhood, Accra, Ghana, West Africa

In furtherance to this, TCSB is dedicated to helping the disadvantaged unlock their potentials for service through free vocational training programmes offered through our department "Unlocking Potentials Concern Group".

TCSB recognises that there's greatness locked inside everybody, but some have this greatness enslaved by poverty. Our free vocational training programmes are therefore designed to eradicate this enslavement by equipping the poor with hands-on experience and the know-how required for success in the area of their training to help raise them from nobodies into testimonies. We do this to validate the biblical mandate to care for the poor and the needy, while validating vocation as an integral part of God purpose for our lives.

TCSB seeks to forgo the consideration of the natural differences for the advancement of our mission by providing the ground that promotes inalienable rights for all who come to us for training.
