The Founder of 18Plus4NDC, a youth wing of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Ms Bridget Bonnie has urged young mothers not to put their career dreams on hold due to parentage atan early age.
According to Ms Bonnie, young mothers could still pursue their dreams in education, career and other ambitions to the highest level despite having a child.
“Do not put your dreams on hold because you give birth at an early age. Young mothers should pursue their dreams and hopefully with the help of God they can become self-sufficient and take good care of their children,” she stated.
Ms Bonniegave this advice last weekend when she donated five sewing machines to some apprentices at Ada in the Greater Accra Region to assist them establish their businesses.
She also gave groceries to over 50 young mothers as well as provisions and new clothes to some widows and urged families to support young mothers to take care of their children while they pursue their dreams.
“With family support and encouragement, young mothers can go back to school, learn a trade and make a decent living to take care of their children and the family at large,” he stated.
The donation was done by Bridget Bonnie and friends in partnership with Anchor Aid Foundation as part of the young politician’s birthday celebrations.
Ms Bonnie who turned 33 this month, earlier held a blood donation exercise at the 37 Military Hospital in Accra to assist the blood bank.
According to her, the lifesaving exercise, which was the fourth edition, would go a long way to save many lives at the facility while expressing appreciation to the many young people who turned out for the exercise.
The 18Plus4NDC, is a network of social democrats that upholds the principles and values of the NDC.

Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Dr. Dominic Ayine, has announced that the government has accepted the recommendation to abolish the death penalty and replace it with life imprisonment as part of the constitutional review process.
He said the proposed amendment would affect Articles 3, 13, 19 and 72 of the 1992 Constitution, with offences that previously attracted the death penalty instead carrying life imprisonment.
Dr. Ayine made the announcement on July 30, 2026, at the Jubilee House in Accra during the Government Accountability Series while outlining the government’s position on the final recommendations of the Constitution Review Committee.
According to him, the government believes the death penalty is inconsistent with the constitutional right to life and Ghana’s international human rights obligations.
He explained that the recommendation forms part of broader proposals aimed at strengthening the protection of fundamental human rights under the Constitution.
Dr. Ayine said the government had also accepted the spirit of several recommendations to expand rights relating to women, children, persons with disabilities, older persons and the youth.
He added that a comprehensive Human Rights Act would be introduced to protect these rights and provide detailed enforcement mechanisms instead of amending the entrenched provisions of the Constitution through a national referendum.
