Chalom Hights, in partnership with the Girl Child Education Unit of the Ejisu Municipality under the Ministry of Education, has organised ElevateHer Mass Mentorship Programme, for Junior High School (JHS) and Senior High School (SHS) students across the Municipality.

 The multi-faceted initiative brought together young girls in an engaging and transformative learning environment.

 A statement issued in Accra said it was designed to equip them with forward-looking knowledge and practical skills essential for their personal and professional development.

 The programme was delivered in two distinct phases, combining theoretical exposure with hands-on training to ensure a holistic learning experience for participants.

 The first phase focused on thought leadership and awareness-building, introducing students to emerging global concepts such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and its relevance in today’s evolving digital landscape. 

 It said participants were guided on how to leverage technology to their advantage, while also gaining valuable insights into the importance of maintaining focus, discipline, and intentionality at a critical stage in their academic and personal journeys. 

The statement indicated that the second phase transitioned into practical skills development, where participants were introduced to creative vocational skills including beads and fascinators making. 

This component was aimed at nurturing entrepreneurial thinking, creativity, and self-reliance among the students, equipping them with tools to create value both immediately and in the future. 

 It said the students also benefited from the contribution of Ms Abigail Boakye, a teacher in the Ejisu Municipality, and the 2025 Best Differentiated Learning Teacher. 

 She played a key role in supporting the organisation of the initiative and engaged directly with students, sharing practical insights on adaptive learning, personal development, and the importance of embracing individual strengths within the educational journey. 

 It said a dedicated session was organised for female teachers within the municipality on the theme: ‘Give to Gain.’ 

 The session created a reflective and empowering space for educators to explore the impact of mentorship, leadership, and intentional investment in others. 

 Participants were encouraged to recognise the value of nurturing the next generation while embracing continuous personal and professional growth. 

 Ms Rita Adu Boateng, Founder of Chalom Hights, underscored the importance of early mentorship and exposure. 

 “At Chalom Hights, we believe that empowering young girls goes beyond inspiration. It requires equipping them with the right knowledge, mindset, and practical skills,” she underlined. 

 “Through ElevateHer, we are intentionally shaping a generation of young women who are confident, focused, and prepared to take on leadership roles in the future,” she added. 

 Addressing the female teachers, she underscored the transformative power of giving, noting that the influence of educators extended far beyond the classroom. 

 “When you give your time, your knowledge, and your guidance, you are not only shaping individual lives, but you are also building a legacy,” she stated. 

 Ms Rita Korley, Programmes Director of Chalom Hights, said “This programme is designed to bridge the gap between knowledge and application.” 

 She noted by combining digital awareness with hands-on skills training, they were ensuring that these young girls were not only informed but also empowered to take actionable steps towards building sustainable and successful futures. –GNA
