Six girls sponsored by Zonta Club of Accra II from primary school through, Junior high and Senior High Schools have gained admission to various universities across Ghana.
The girls, between the ages of 18 and 19, were identified at ages of nine, when they were in primary class four and based on their academic excellence, were offered
scholarships and mentoring from the Zonta Club II, to support them reach the peak of their education.
They are Georgina Mawuli Ametepe, University of Professional Studies (UPSA), offering Bachelor of Science in Accounting, Wushia Ayuba, Bachelor of Administration, UPSA, Sekina Zakari Awinboda, Bachelor of Business Administration, B.A Political Science, History and Arabic at the University of Ghana. Others are Mercy Asare, Bachelor of Public Health (Environmental Health Option) University of Ghana, Esther Aku-Tokpe, Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, KNUST, Mary Asantewaa Owusu, BSc. Food Technology, University of Energy and Natural Resources.
With the club’s support over the past 10 years, these girls had all earned places in universities across the country, which required more in financial support as cost of university education in Ghana is just as expensive as is the case all over the world. Mrs Merley Wood, Club President, has therefore pledged to raise funds to continue supporting the girls through the university.
“It is the commitment of Zonta International to support and empower girls and women through advocacy and education and this is what Zonta Club of Accra II is seeking to achieve in Ghana,” she added.

Christians have been urged to demonstrate a living faith in Jesus Christ by allowing their confession of Him as Lord and Saviour to reflect in their daily lives.
According to the Kaneshie District Pastor of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana (EPCG), Rev. Dzidzor Nathaniel Affram, a genuine Christian’s confession should go beyond words and be demonstrated through obedience to God, love for others and service to the Church.
He made the call at the 40th anniversary remembrance service for the late Wesley Kwasi Kwadzo at the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana, Maranatha Congregation at Awudome Avenui in the Volta Region.
Speaking on the theme, “The Church Built on a Living Confession,” Rev. Affram said life would continually present challenges capable of testing Christians’ faith, making it necessary for believers to hold firmly to their confession that Jesus Christ is Lord.
He explained that accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour required Christians to live according to His teachings, stressing that their faith must be evident in their conduct.
“A living confession listens to God and not man,” he said, urging Christians to remain obedient to God even when faced with difficulties and pressures.
Rev. Affram further encouraged the congregation to care for vulnerable people and demonstrate concern for others, adding that such acts were practical expressions of Christian faith.
He also urged Christians to identify and use their God-given gifts to build the Church.
He said every member of the Church had a role to play and cautioned Christians against looking down on others because of their status or abilities.
The remembrance service brought together family members, friends, members of the congregation and sympathisers to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the late Wesley Kwasi Kwadzo.
