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.

Veteran Nigerian actor and African screen legend, Pete Edochie, has paid a courtesy call on the Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod), Sammy Gyamfi, during his visit to Ghana.
Edochie is in Ghana to launch the African Legacy Project, which includes a book, documentary film and an African Youth Mentorship Initiative targeting about 500,000 young people across the continent.
Mr. Gyamfi welcomed the opportunity for GoldBod to support the mentorship initiative, noting that it aligns with the Board’s Special Intervention Programme and its focus on social impact and economic empowerment.
GoldBod’s work is also referenced in Pete Edochie’s new book, which highlights Ghana’s efforts to ensure its gold resources contribute to national development.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has warned Ghanaians seeking employment in Zambia to be cautious of fraudulent job offers that could expose them to human trafficking and forced involvement in cybercrime.
The warning follows the arrest of six Ghanaians in Lusaka, Zambia, during a joint operation by the Zambia Police Service, the Drug Enforcement Commission and the Department of Immigration on August 23, 2026.
According to the Ministry, the operation targeted a facility suspected of being involved in organised cybercrime activities and led to the arrest of 79 people, including 10 Zambians and 69 foreign nationals.
The Ministry said six of the foreign nationals arrested were Ghanaians.
It explained that reports received by the Ghana High Commission in Lusaka indicated that some of those arrested had been recruited through what appeared to be legitimate employment opportunities, including online data entry jobs.
However, the Ministry said some were allegedly forced into online scam activities after their passports were confiscated by their employers.
It warned that the situation highlights how human trafficking groups are using fake employment opportunities to lure unsuspecting job seekers into illegal activities.
The Ministry has therefore advised Ghanaians travelling to Zambia or seeking employment there to thoroughly verify job offers, recruitment agencies and prospective employers before travelling.
Ghanaians living in Zambia have also been urged to remain vigilant when responding to online job opportunities and maintain regular contact with the Ghana High Commission in Lusaka for consular assistance when necessary.
The Ministry said the government remains committed to protecting the welfare and interests of Ghanaians travelling to or living outside the country.
