Accra, May 16, GNA- Chalom Hights, a not-for profit organisation dedicated to empowering young women, has hosted another impactful edition of its flagship ElevateHer Mentorship Programme at Ashaiman Gbetsile.
The programme was aimed at, engaging and empowering female pupils who just completed their Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE).
The mentorship session was designed to equip the young girls with the confidence, guidance, motivation, and practical tools needed to approach their examinations and future aspirations with purpose and self-belief.
The programme brought together mentors and facilitators who shared insights on academic excellence, self-confidence, discipline, leadership, personal growth, and resilience.
Madam Rita Adu Boateng emphasized the importance of intentionally investing in young girls at critical stages of their development.
“The transition period for young girls, especially before major examinations such as the BECE, is one of the most defining moments in their lives,” she said.
She said through ElevateHer, “we want every girl to know that her background does not limit her potential. We are committed to helping young girls build confidence, dream bigger, and believe in their ability to succeed.”
The CEO said the students participated in interactive discussions, motivational sessions, and mentorship conversations focused on overcoming fear and understanding the importance of education in shaping their future opportunities.
The initiative forms part of Chalom Hights’ broader mission to empower young women and girls to thrive personally, academically, and professionally by creating safe spaces for mentorship, growth, and leadership development.
She said Chalom Hights remained committed to expanding the reach of the ElevateHer initiative and creating opportunities that empower more girls to rise with confidence, purpose, and ambition.
Teachers and community representatives present at the event commended the initiative for addressing not only the academic needs of the students but also their emotional and personal development ahead of their examinations.
Since its inception, the ElevateHer programme has continued to impact young women across different communities through mentorship engagements, empowerment conversations, leadership development initiatives, and educational support programmes.
