Krobo Girls Senior High, 3 others receive Hope for Girls Book to mark World Menstrual Hygiene Day

Inspire Today, an NGO focused on menstrual hygiene and gender equality, celebrated World Menstrual Hygiene Day. They donated copies of the book *Hope for Girls* to four senior high schools in Ghana’s Eastern Region.

The initiative was led by Etornam Sey, the Executive Director of Inspire Today. The schools included Krobo Girls' Senior High School and Mfantsiman Senior High School. This effort reached two other schools in the Lower Manya Krobo District. The donation provides girls with a valuable resource for their teenage challenges.

*Hope for Girls*, published by Step Publishers, is more than just a book. It serves as a guide on menstrual hygiene management, peer pressure, self-discovery, mental health, and self-worth. Many adolescent girls face these issues silently. This book offers clarity and encouragement, assuring them they are not alone.

Students and school authorities have reacted positively to the donation. At Krobo Girls’ SHS, students called the book “timely and relevant.” They expressed joy at having relatable material in their libraries. One student said it feels like someone understands them directly.

Inspire Today and Step Publishers share a mission to support young girls. Their goal is to provide hope, education, and emotional support to those in underserved communities. By equipping school libraries with these books, they aim to eliminate stigma and improve access to information.

“This is not just a book donation,” said Etornam Sey. “It’s a statement that girls matter.” She emphasized that their stories and journeys should be dignified and supported.

Inspire Today works tirelessly across Ghana to empower girls. They want to ensure that every girl can stay in school and make informed choices. *Hope for Girls* is a powerful tool in this mission—transforming lives one girl at a time.
