CIWED GHANA Commemorates International Day of the Girl Child with a Drama Performance

CIWED-Ghana celebrated this year’s International Day of the Girl Child in grand style. Under the theme; “Our time is now—our rights, our future”, the organisation marked the day with a classic drama performance in the Savelugu Municipality by students from Wataniya Junior High School. These students are part of the advocacy clubs that CIWED GHANA formed in 20 schools in two districts in the “Women Voice and Leadership Project”.

The drama show witnessed parents, teachers, assembly members and directors of education in the municipality gracing the occasion. The head teacher of the school Mr. Suleiman Mohammed thanked CIWED GHANA for choosing their school as one of the implementing schools for the implementation of the women voice and leadership project. Representing the municipal director of education, a circuit supervisor also thanked CIWED and OSIWA for the strategy that they have adopted to reach out to schools and pupils to transform their lives.  Some participating parents were so happy and they were part of the drama and confessed that a lot was learnt during the drama and they will support their girls to attain education to the highest level. The drama performance is part of activities of the “Women voice and leadership project” CIWED is implementing with funding support from OSIWA
