Yaa Asantewaa Girl Empowerment Program
The Play and Learn Foundation believes that equality and empowered women are key to a more prosperous future for everyone. We want to do our part. So, PAL created a unique new girl empowerment program: the Yaa Astanewaa Girl Empowerment Project. This project aimed to enhance and empower young women and girls with through lectures, workshops, and mentorship. Every month, we held special events with specific themes to foster self-reflection, confidence, and critical thinking. Additionally, each participant had a Big Sister - an older role model - to guide them through these activities and provide them with social support that extends beyond the program. We hope to expand this and similar community outreach programs in the future. Together, our stars will shine!
