Empower Africa Alliance and Derby’s Foundation, two prominent organizations committed to youth and gender empowerment in Ghana, have left an indelible mark on the Yagaba Kubori constituency through their transformative Community and Schools Engagement Tour. The initiative, led by Christabel Derby, brought crucial resources and education to the community, addressing key issues of education and menstrual hygiene.
The tour impacted hundreds of schoolchildren by distributing 2,000 exercise books and 1,000 sanitary pads. Beyond the donations, students were educated on the importance of education, menstrual hygiene, and reproductive health, equipping them with tools to excel academically and lead healthier lives.
Christabel Derby, the founder of Empower Africa Alliance, emphasized the vision behind the initiative: “Education is the cornerstone of societal transformation, and empowering young girls with the tools and knowledge they need to stay in school is critical. Through this initiative, we are not only providing resources but inspiring dreams.”
The event also received significant backing from Mustapha Yussif, the Minister for Youth and Sports and Member of Parliament for the Yagaba Kubori constituency. His commitment to youth development and gender equity played a pivotal role in the success of the program.
Beyond the schools, the initiative extended its reach to women in the community, highlighting the critical importance of menstrual hygiene. By addressing the long-standing need for sanitary pads, the project sought to break barriers and restore dignity to women who often face challenges due to limited access to such essential items.
Empower Africa Alliance and Derby’s Foundation have demonstrated the power of collaboration and grassroots impact through this initiative. Their work in Yagaba Kubori exemplifies the transformative potential of partnerships between organizations and local leaders.
The success of the Community and Schools Engagement Tour serves as a beacon of hope and a call to action, showing that prioritizing the well-being of communities can lead to sustainable empowerment and societal change.
