Renel Ghana Foundation and GNECC Empower Girls at Vakpo SHS Through Education and Awareness Campaigns

Alongside healthcare interventions, RENEL Ghana Foundation has placed a strong emphasis on the empowerment of girls and the promotion of girls’ education. Deeply aware of the persistent societal barriers that hinder the educational and personal growth of young women, the RGF has spearheaded a comprehensive program to address this critical issue.

Ghana National Education Campaign Coalition in collaboration with Renel Ghana Foundation visited Vakpo Senior High School in the Volta Region to sensitize the students through awareness campaigns on teenage pregnancy and re-entry policy, child marriage’s education and targeted scholarships. Renel Ghana Foundation and other like -minded CSOs has worked actively to challenge the deep-rooted norms and practices that perpetuate gender inequality. We have advocated for the importance of girls’ education, highlighting its transformative impact on individuals, families, and the broader community.

Recognizing the interconnected challenges of child marriage and teenage pregnancy, GNECC and RGF has also implemented robust initiatives to address these pressing concerns. By engaging with traditional leaders, religious authorities, and local government officials, they have successfully raised awareness about the detrimental effects of these practices on the health, well-being, and future prospects of young girls.

Through collaborative efforts with schools, healthcare providers, and community-based organizations, girls education unit of Ghana Education Service has developed comprehensive programs that provide comprehensive sexual and reproductive health education, counseling services, and support systems for vulnerable adolescents. These interventions have not only empowered young girls to make informed choices but have also fostered a community-wide shift in attitudes and behaviors. As Renel Ghana Foundation programs continues to evolve and expand, their story stands as a testament to the power of community-driven initiatives to address the complex and interconnected challenges that plague marginalized populations. By addressing healthcare, girls’ education, and gender-based issues in a holistic and integrated manner, RGF is not only improving lives but is also laying the foundation for sustainable and transformative change.
