About 2,000 girls from 25 basic schools in the Greater Accra Region were beneficiaries of a recent sanitary pad distribution initiative by Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs), Share Foundation and Rymas International.
Ms. Lilly Mintah one of the founders of the organisation, said risks and challenges of adolescent reproductive health could impact negatively on school attendance and academic performance, hence the move to support the teenage girls.
She expressed worry over hike in prices of the essential product and asked the appropriate authories to intervene, and make them affordable to the girls.
The girls were selected from schools mainly in Tema, including Tetteh Ocloo School for the Deaf in Ashaiman and the Seventh Day Adventist School in Nungua.
Ms Mintah, passionate about adolescent reproductive health, said young girls must not “fall prey to unscrupulous men” because they could not afford basic necessities.
At the Tema Metropolitan Assembly ‘One’ Basic school where the exercise was climaxed, the Girl Child Coordinator of the school, Mavis Hammond, praised the initiative saying it would help boost the confidence of girls as they study.
She said constant communication and information on adolescent sexual reproductive health would help allay their “fear and anxiety” among teenagers.

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.
