 The forum for African Women Educationalists (FAWE) Ghana, envisions to promote gender equity and equality in education with emphasis on girls in terms of access, retention, and performance by working with partners at global, continental, national, and local levels in sub-Saharan African to create positive societal attitudes, policies and practices.
FAWE’s programmes fall in line with the government’s vision of creating an enabling environment for children to go through their education successfully and girls need to take advantage of the opportunity to move to the highest level of the educational ladder.
In this respect, FAWE has rewarded 10 girls who have excelled in their examinations, demonstrated leadership qualities and are pursuing higher education nation-wide.
