Balancing Act

Women in Ghana have a hard life if they do not get an education. Their life is filled with manual labor, long hours of work, and little pay. It is not an easy life. A common scene is women balancing heavy loads on their heads of things they are trying to sell. They walk along the roads all day long hoping to get a sale. The sun is very hot and the roads are very dusty, making their work even more arduous. For young girls who don't go to school, this is the life they will have to live. It's for these young girls, and even boys, that I founded my organization to help. To give them a chance at a better life.
