Girl-focused NGO, Abiola Bawuah Foundation (ABF) has pledged to continue supporting girl child empowerment in Ghana as part of its “100 Girls Support Project”.
The move seeks to improve the lives of brilliant but deprived girls.
The Foundation after a year of existence has among other things, provided under privileged girls access to quality education who hitherto have no hope of making it to the classroom.
Speaking at the launch of the ” 100 Girls Support Project”, Founder and West Africa Regional CEO of United Bank for Africa (UBA), Mrs Marufatu Abiola Bawuah mentioned her commitment stems from the support she had from few women in her life while growing up and therefore, poised to also give a helping hand to the many who have nothing to hold on to.
“ABF supports girls from nursery to the universities and girls with medical conditions as well and all these is to remember and say thank you to the few mothers who helped me to get this far,” Founder and West Africa Regional CEO of United Bank for Africa (UBA), Marufatu Abiola Bawuah said.
The foundation has so far committed over ¢100,000 into the publication of a book ‘Chosen from the Darkness’, which gives a full account of how Mrs Abiola Bawuah defied the odds to get
ABF in a media engagement at the British Council in Accra, encouraged all to support the girl child education and therefore called on benevolent entities and individuals to support this initiative.
Meanwhile, the Chairperson of ABF’s Board of Trustees, Elizabeth Hayfron Asare, said ABF will not be overridden by the challenges they may encounter but will continue to support genuine needy but brainy girls in Ghana.
