A Ghanaian youth-led nonprofit on a mission to eradicate illiteracy and girl-child empowerment in underserved communities.

As we bring our two-year Empowerment Through Reading (LGF-ETR) Project funding partnership with Star Ghana Foundation to a close, we recently convened a Project Validation and Stakeholder Engagement Workshop with our valued partners, school leaders, teachers, community representatives, volunteers, and the Ghana Education Service.

This workshop was more than a reflection on our journey, it was an opportunity to validate our achievements, gather stakeholder feedback, document lessons learned, and collectively discuss strategies for sustaining the impact beyond the project period.

Over the past two years, with generous support from STAR Ghana Foundation, the project has strengthened literacy outcomes among children through:
📚 Weekly community and school-based reading sessions
📖 Establishment of classroom reading corners and mini-libraries
👩🏽‍🏫 Capacity building for teachers and literacy volunteers
🤝 Parent and community engagement to promote a culture of reading
📊 Literacy assessments to track learners' progress and improve instruction

One of the most rewarding outcomes of the validation workshop was the strong commitment from stakeholders to continue championing literacy within their schools and communities. Their ownership and dedication reaffirm that sustainable change happens when communities lead the process.

We extend our heartfelt appreciation to our team and resource persons, STAR Ghana Foundation for believing in our vision, our implementing schools, volunteers, community leaders, Ghana Education Service, and every partner who contributed to the success of this initiative.

While this project is ending, our commitment to ensuring every child has access to quality literacy opportunities continues. Together, we are building communities where every child can read, learn, and thrive.

Libraries are integral to learning and play a vital role in shaping confident, curious, and empowered young minds. 📚✨

On 3rd March 2026, Learners Girls Foundation implemented a Mini Library Initiative in five schools across Northern Ghana as part of our *Empowerment Through Reading* project, funded by the STAR-Ghana Foundation.

As part of our commitment to improving literacy and access to quality learning resources, we established five mini libraries stocked with books from our valued partner Book Aid International alongside additional educational materials donated to beneficiary schools.

The donated learning materials included:
📖 Basic school textbooks
📝 Workbooks to support classroom learning
📚 Storybooks to inspire imagination and creativity
📕 Novels and fiction books to encourage a love for reading
📓 Exercise books for daily academic activities
🎨 Drawing books to nurture creativity
✏️ Colour pencils and pens for writing and artistic expression

This initiative forms part of our ongoing efforts to nurture a strong reading culture and support academic development among children in underserved communities.

Through access to books and educational materials, we hope to equip students with the tools they need to learn, explore, imagine, and grow. Education remains a powerful pathway to opportunity, and every child deserves access to resources that help them reach their full potential.

Our profound gratitude goes to our dedicated team, volunteers, partners, and supporters who made this initiative possible. Together, we are creating spaces where children can read, dream, and thrive. 💙

Learners Girls Foundation (LGF) successfully organized a Parents' Engagement Forum under our Empowerment Through Reading(ETR) phase 2 funded by STAR-Ghana Foundation, which brought together parents, community leaders, teachers, and key stakeholders from the Sagnarigu and Lamashegu communities.

The event aimed at strengthening collaboration between families and communities while promoting shared responsibility in supporting children’s education and improving literacy outcomes. Through interactive discussions and knowledge sharing, participants explored practical ways to support children’s learning both at home and in school.

The session created a platform for meaningful dialogue, where parents shared their experiences in supporting their children’s education, while facilitators and educators provided guidance on building strong reading habits and creating supportive learning environments at home.

💬 “The development of every community depends largely on the knowledge children acquire daily.” – Chairperson, Mba Fuseini Muhammad, Sagnarigu Chief Palace Kpanalana.

💬 “Literacy is the foundation of all learning.” – Madam Beata A. Anab, Tuunaayili M/A Headteacher

💬 “When the community takes ownership of a project, it becomes sustainable and continues to serve generations beyond us.” – Kris Nystrom, Ed.D., Executive Director, Reading the World

We were honored to have Kris Nystrom, Ed.D. join us virtually, where he shared valuable insights on the Reading Clinic Project—a sustainable, community-driven initiative designed to provide children with access to books and learning support. His emphasis on community ownership highlighted the importance of building solutions that last beyond project timelines.

The event reinforced the critical role that parents and communities play in shaping children’s academic success and overall development. It also strengthened partnerships and renewed commitment among stakeholders to work together in promoting literacy and quality education.

Together, we are building empowered communities where every child has the opportunity to read, learn, and succeed. 🌱📖

Over the past few weeks, our dedicated facilitators have been delivering engaging and innovative literacy sessions under the *Empowerment Through Reading (LGF-ETR)* project, generously funded by the Star Ghana Foundation.

At the Learners Girls Foundation, we believe learning should be interactive, relatable, and inspiring. By integrating visuals into traditional teaching methods, we are helping learners better understand concepts and connect classroom lessons to real-life experiences.

In a recent session on *Natural Disasters*, with a focus on *Earthquakes*, students explored the topic through visual presentations displayed on a TV screen. They watched, reflected, and engaged in meaningful discussions sharing their thoughts, asking questions, and deepening their understanding together.

It was truly inspiring to see their enthusiasm and confidence as they participated.

Below are highlights from a recent engagement at Hilaliya Islamic School, facilitated by Salamata and Rauf Moshi

We remain passionate about making learning fun, accessible, and impactful, one community at a time. 🌱📚

The training brought together dedicated teachers, facilitators, and mentors from our beneficiary schools to strengthen their skills in delivering structured, engaging, and child-centred literacy interventions.

🔑 Key focus areas included:

📖 Using the ETR Facilitators’ Guide for effective reading sessions
💻 Integrating ICT tools to enhance teaching and learning
📊 Conducting digital literacy assessments and data collection
🌍 Embedding real-life issues like climate change, CSE, and teenage pregnancy into age-appropriate reading activities.

This training marks an important step toward improving learning outcomes, building a strong reading culture, and driving community-led literacy solutions across Tamale Metro and Sagnarigu District in Northern Ghana.

📘🌱 Together, we are empowering children with the skills to read, learn, and lead.
