Program information
In Ghana, gender norms still lean towards patriarchy, and young women and girls are often unable to openly discuss or access health support for topics like puberty, menstruation or mental health. Women often handle family health, from small injuries to vaccinations and nutrition. Join us in Kokrobite to make safe spaces for young women and girls and to empower them with knowledge and support.
