" Step publishers mark International Day of the Girl child in Ayawaso Central \r\n\r\nStep Publishers, a Ghanaian publishing company has encouraged young girls in Ayawaso Central to cultivate the habit of reading as Ghana joins the rest of the world to mark International Day of the girl child.\r\n\r\nThe company collaborated with an NGO, Inspire Today, to provide support for about two thousand girls from eleven public schools within the municipality.\r\n\r\nBeneficiary schools (Kotobabi Basic 3, Kotobabi 2 J.H.S, Kotobabi primary 1 and 2, Kotobabi 5, J.H.S, Kotobabi 7 J.H.S, Kotobabi 11, Kotobabi 4 J.HS, Abavaana J.H.S, Pigfarm Basic, Abavaana Down Basic,KPPS) were provided with reading materials as a way to inculcate the habit of reading in the girls.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nAn author, publishing assistant and head of marketing at Step Publishers, Alice Mina Agyekum expressed gratitude to Inspire Today for the opportunity to collaborate of such a project and underscored the need to encourage reading among young girls.\r\n\r\n \u201cAt Step Publishers we believe that every child and girls for that matter must be armed with books in order to help them make informed choices. Books can take you anywhere, inspire you, and even change your life. As a young person trying to navigate school, family, friendships, and first loves, they can be among the most valuable and helpful tools. We are happy to be supporting the girls in this community with reading materials because we want them to become informed leaders of our tomorrow\u201d. She added\r\n\r\nFounder and Executive Director for Inspire Today, Etornam Sey, expressed gratitude to Step Publishers for coming on board to support the girls with reading materials.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \u201cAn informed generation is a progressive one. We encourage our girls to stay in school and pursue their dreams but unfortunately, some do not have access to reading materials and that makes it difficult to have access to quality education. It means a lot to us that Step Publishers continues to support us on a regular basis even in these difficult economic times. On behalf of the beneficiary schools, we are grateful to step publishers for their continuous support in keeping the girls in school\u201d. \r\n\r\nThe International Day of the Girl, which is observed annually on 11th October, is a global platform to advocate for the full spectrum of girls\u2019 rights. This year\u2019s theme is \u201cInvest In Girls Rights; our leadership, our well-being\u2019.\u00a0 This is helping to respond to girls\u2019 calls for change, and ensuring that the global community move beyond reaffirming commitments and invest boldly in the action needed to make that change.\r\n\r\n "
