With the Euros in full swing, and everyone shouting for their favourite teams, it's time you meet some more of our very own AfriKids' team! Whilst some are stars on the football field, their biggest achievements come from scoring wins for children’s rights across northern Ghana!

The theme of International Menstrual Hygiene Day 2024 is #PeriodFriendlyWorld, the perfect opportunity to hear about the importance of reducing period stigma, especially amongst men, and the interactive ways AfriKids tackled this with male community members on this day in 2023!

[AfriKids @AfriKids]

"There is still a certain myth, a certain secrecy, around periods and we want to demystify it. So that when you walk into a supermarket; the way you buy sugar, that's how you should buy sanitary pads; as an essential family commodity."

"I learned to read and write as a young boy. I am happy to share my knowledge with others and help the Ghanaian child." - Christopher, is a Complementary Basic Education facilitator with @AfriKids.

Like Christopher, kudos to all those helping children out of school to learn.

In an often challenging environment, teachers such as Rebecca are playing a huge role in empowering girls through the education of their rights!

We have been busy helping schools across northern Ghana set up ‘library clubs’ - from training teachers on how to run a library, to organising inter-school reading competitions - encouraging children to read and explore their passions through access to a wide variety of stories.

Happy World Book Day!
