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.

Included in your program, at no extra cost.

Make the most of our unique programs with these exclusively curated local adventure and wellness experiences.

Offered once a month, expand your adventure with GVI Experiences. These are just some of the activities offered on your program!
