Caroline Group of Companies outlines special initiatives
Caroline Group of Companies, an education and training consultancy firm, is set to embark on a series of initiatives with the aim of building the capacity of women and improving the quality of education.
Ms Caroline Esinam Adzogble, Chief Executive Officer of the company, addressing a press conference in Accra last Friday, said the projects, which include support to female prisoners across the country, would begin this month, July 2020.
She said her outfit intended to supply 1,000 personal care products to female prisoners at Nsawam and support other inmates who were still serving their sentences for their inability to pay court fines.
“I am committed to redefining prison reform. The support to female prisoners would be done every year and it will continue in other prisons across the nation. I believe some of the women are behind bars because they could not pay their fines, so I will help them settle that,” she assured.
Ms Adzogle added that she intended to launch an interactive educational channel known as ‘Caroline TV and Radio’, to help children study at home.
According to her, the company would embark on educational tour in some secondary and tertiary institutions to help students attain their education and career goals.
The organisation, she said, would again host conferences to help address diverse issues affecting women, with focus on entrepreneurship and personal development topics targeted at young people.
Expressing her commitment to meeting the educational needs of individuals and groups, Ms Adzogble said the company would train more people for consultancy.
“I plan to retire in the next two years, hence my determination to train more people and launch operations in other regions in the years ahead,” she said.
While calling for collaboration from stakeholders across all sectors, she advised women to continue working hard to reach their goals, adding that young people should not succumb to peer pressure and the temptations of social media and other vices.

Ahyiresu and Abofrem, two quiet communities in the Atwima Mponua District, have been shaken to the core by a chilling midnight drama that reads like a nightmare.
A pastor and a young mother stand accused of attempting to bury a five‑month‑old baby girl alive, a crime that has ignited outrage and disbelief across the township.
According to police, Apostle Richmond Akwasi Frimpong, 36, Head Pastor of the Anointed Grace Prayer Ministry at Kuffour Camp, conspired with his uncle Emmanuel Appiah, 53, and the child’s mother, 23‑year‑old Beatrice Agyapomaa, to dispose of the infant, Anaya Achiaa, under the cover of darkness.
A fourth suspect, Emmanuel Donkor, remains on the run.
The suspects were caught near a refuse dump around 10 pm on April 9, 2026, after a vigilant resident, Akwasi Twezor, noticed their suspicious movements.
When confronted, they claimed the child was already dead and had palace approval for burial. But Twezor’s instincts proved right—the baby was still alive, gasping faintly for breath.
Chief Linguist, Nana Yaw Badu, later confirmed that Frimpong had misled him earlier in the evening, securing permission for burial by falsely declaring the child dead.
The infant was rushed to the Abofrem Clinic, where she is now responding well to treatment. Police described her as “very beautiful.”
Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Evelyn Yitamkey, Commander of DOVVSU in Bibiani, confirmed that the suspects have been provisionally charged.
Frimpong faces attempted murder and conspiracy charges, while Agyapomaa and Appiah are charged with conspiracy and abetment.
They were remanded by the Bibiani Circuit Court, presided over by Judge Frank Asiedu Nimako, to assist investigations.
The docket has been forwarded to the Attorney General’s Department for advice, ASP Yitamkey indicated.
The attempted crime has provoked fury among residents, many suspecting ritual motives aimed at bolstering the pastor’s influence.
Crowds attempted to attack the suspects outside court, but police intervention prevented mob justice.
The Assembly Member for Ahyiresu, Yusuf Suleiman, has assured residents that justice will be pursued swiftly.

The forecourt of the African University of Communications and Business (AUCB) in Accra came alive on Friday with colour, creativity and innovation, as Level 300 students transformed the space into a lively exhibition of ideas.
Under the theme “Building meaningful brands beyond the logo,” the students invited patrons into a world where ordinary products were reimagined through storytelling, design and purpose.
From scented candles to innovative food concepts, each stand told a unique story, one that went beyond aesthetics to capture identity, value and human connection.
For many of the students, the event was more than just an academic exercise; it was a moment to dream out loud.
Guided by their lecturer, Peter Wonders, they explored what it truly means to build a brand in today’s competitive world where trust, consistency and experience matter just as much as logos and slogans.
Chairman of the occasion, Nana Kum Gyata VI, in his remarks said a brand is what people say about you when you are not present.
At the end of the presentations, awards were presented to deserving groups with Vida Nyaneba emerging as the overall best branding student.
