The whole premises shined with Christmas decorations as the girls socialized with themselves and shared food and drinks. They got the opportunity to talk to each other and they enjoyed their time. In the beginning, every girl got a pink T-shirt which says "The Future is female" to make them feel connected to each other. In addition, teenage mothers got a little gift bag for their babies. The girls were very thankful for this meeting and it showed the importance of a group like that. It is the second time that SCEF-Ghana is organizing a group for the teenage girls.

The purpose of this group is to encourage young girls to find their way on the right track and to fight for their dreams. We want to empower them to be able to have a good future. Everything starts with education that is why we want them to keep going to school or to learn a trade. This girl group should help them to share their experiences and to talk about their problems. It is likely that some of the girls go through the same trouble. In our group, they can give each other advice and discuss the decisions they made.  We want them to get to know themselves better, through this they will learn more about their personal values and the opportunities and possibilities they have as young women in their society.
