The Fallon Foundation, in partnership with the Ministry of Gender, Ayemoede Foundation, and Penyman Foundation, has marked World Menstrual Hygiene Day with donations of sanitary and personal care items to female inmates at the Nsawam and Akuse Female Prisons on Thursday, May 28, 2026.
At the Nsawam Female Prison, the group donated a 3-month supply of sanitary pads, washing detergents, bathing soaps, toothpaste, and toothbrushes.
The Akuse Female Prison received a 6-month supply of sanitary pads, toothpaste, toothbrushes, and detergents.
The initiative aims to support the health, dignity, and wellbeing of incarcerated women and ensure they do not struggle through menstrual cycles without proper care.
The partners reaffirmed their commitment to supporting women in prisons across Ghana and said they plan to adopt and visit more prisons to address menstrual hygiene challenges among inmates.
The Fallon Foundation and its partners are also appealing to the public to support the cause through an “Adopt a Prisoner” donation drive.
Individuals can contribute from GHS 25 monthly via the Foundation’s shortcode and donation links to provide sanitary pads and other essentials to female inmates nationwide.
“Together, we can restore dignity, promote hygiene, and remind every woman that she is seen, valued, and cared for,” the group stated.
The Supreme Court has heard arguments in an application for interlocutory injunction filed by former GIIF CEO, Mr. Solomon Asamoah, the first accused person in the ongoing Skytrain scandal trial.
Mr. Asamoah has filed a certiorari application at the Supreme Court seeking to quash the High Court’s decision to dismiss his submission of no case, as well as an order quashing what he describes as a variation of his bail conditions.
Pending the determination of the certiorari application, he is asking the Supreme Court to injunct proceedings at the trial court.
The Attorney-General is opposed to both applications.
The Court, constituted by Justice Senyo Dzamefe, JSC, sitting as a sole judge of the Supreme Court, heard arguments from Mrs. Victoria Barth, counsel for the applicant, and Deputy Attorney-General, Dr. Justice Srem-Sai, and has adjourned the case to Monday, August 31, at 10 a.m. for a ruling.
The Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA) has extended the deadline for submission of event proposals for the 2026 edition of December in GH to Monday, September 7, 2026.
The extension gives event organisers, promoters, cultural innovators and experience creators additional time to submit concepts for inclusion in Ghana’s premier festive season.
This year’s December in GH calendar will run from December 1, 2026 to January 3, 2027, featuring culture, creativity, entertainment, heritage and unforgettable experiences.
According to the Authority, as a defining expression of the Black Star Experience, the season continues to evolve beyond a calendar of events into a nationwide cultural journey showcasing the rhythms, stories, flavours and expressions that make Ghana unique.
Selected events will form part of the official December in GH 2026 programme and will be integrated into the national campaign and amplified through GTA’s local and international promotional platforms.
