The COVID-19 pandemic and the associated social and economic downturn are undermining children's educational and development outcomes in Ghana. This is having a disproportionate effect on vulnerable groups, particularly in disadvantaged communities such as Nima in Maamobi, where Achievers Ghana, an NGO (Non Governmental Organisation) looks after girls to enable them to continue with their education. These risks will be exacerbated especially in overcrowded communities such as Nima.  
 
Bridging families rose to the challenge and donated hand sanitizers and masks to children and young people of Achievers Ghana.

Shining Stars Reading Club was launched in Lila Childcare Foundation in Awoshie in September 2019. Children wrote their names on stars to remind that that where ever they find themselves they have to keep shining. Over 150 children in the school now have access to story books.

We had a reading challenge with the girls where girls sat in groups to share a book with  volunteers from University of Ghana, Legon. The girls had to write down new words they came across while reading and find the meaning to them. They also had to predict what would come next in the story and pretend to be some of the characters in the story.
