Terry Yegbe Foundation partners Groomdat Girl to commemorate World Menstrual Hygiene Day
The Terry Yegbe Foundation, a non-profit organisation focused on youth empowerment and community education, partnered with Groomdat Girl to observe World Menstrual Hygiene Day 2025 in the Volta Region.
Hosted at Horti EP Primary School, the event gathered students, teachers, community members, and officials to enhance awareness of menstrual hygiene and challenge the stigma associated with menstruation.
Founded by Akatsi native and former Akatsi Kickers FC player, Terry Yegbe, the foundation is committed to uplifting young people and fostering community development. Through its initiatives, Yegbe aims to provide educational resources and support to underserved communities.
The event included interactive sessions, demonstrations, and performances centered on menstrual health and hygiene.
Delphine Gomado, a physician assistant at Akatsi, led a practical workshop on personal hygiene.
Meanwhile, Miss Tilda Elinam Acorlor, Team Lead for Groomdat Girl and sports broadcaster, encouraged the girls to embrace menstruation as a natural aspect of life and to prioritise their education.
Mr Eric Ahiabor, Manager of the Terry Yegbe Foundation, expressed appreciation to Groomdat Girl for collaborating on this vital programme at the school. He urged students to take their studies seriously and embody the determination that Terry Yegbe hopes for them.
The event wrapped up with the distribution of sanitary pads and snacks to the children, accompanied by lively performances and poetry recitals focused on hygiene and menstrual health.
Terry Yegbe currently plays as a central defender for the Swedish Allsvenskan club, IF Elfsborg and represents the Ghana national team. He was recently called up to join both the Ghana U-23 team, the Black Meteors, and the senior national team, the Black Stars.
The programme received significant support from The Freeemo Foundation, Dr Harrison Kofi Berlley, and businessman, Mr Francis Aba.

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.
