Organised by Karpowership Ghana, an electricity producing company, the girls were taken through various topics including savings, overcoming peer pressure and finding one’s purpose.
They were also trained in how beads could be used to design bags, wrist bands, footwear, necklaces, anklets, and other fashion accessories using beads.
The training forms part of an initiative dubbed “Girl Power Project” to empower the girls as part of efforts to help achieve the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goal 5 (SDG 5) on gender equality.

Given the impacts of climate change on water, it is more imperative than ever that we value this precious resource in a responsible and accountable manner.
World Water Day will be celebrated on March 22, 2021 to raise awareness around global water shortages and support the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6: water and sanitation for all by 2030.
“The theme of World Water Day 2021 is valuing water. The value of water is about much more than its price – water has enormous and complex value for our households, food, culture, health, education, economics and the integrity of our natural environment. If we overlook any of these values, we risk mismanaging this finite, irreplaceable resource. SDG 6 is to ensure water and sanitation for all. Without a comprehensive understanding of water’s true, multidimensional value, we will be unable to safeguard this critical resource for the benefit of everyone.”
