THE GOAL EMPOWERMENT PROGRAMME LAUNCH BY STANCHART GHANA

 

This Monday, I was privileged to witness the launch of GOAL by Standard Chartered Bank Ghana under the leadership of their Chief Executive , Mansa Nettey, at the Right to Dream Academy, Old Akrade.

The objective of the GOAL initiative is to enable young girls between the ages of 12 to 20 in urban areas from low-income families with financial education and life skills so that they can play active leadership roles in their families, communities and economies.


To support the GOAL project, employees will volunteer their time by offering financial education , organising GOAL events , mentoring the girls and offering their skills to support their NGO partners .

The programme seeks to empower adolescent girls using sports and life skills so they can make informed choices and to fulfill their potential. 

GOAL is a global programme of Standard Chartered Bank that has since its inception in 2006, reached over 200,000 girls in 25 countries equipping them with the confidence, knowledge and skills they need to be integral economic leaders.
The programme aims to reach 600,000 girls by 2018.

 The colorful event brought together staff of Standard Chartered Bank , government officials ,media houses , journalists and bloggers.
There was a beautiful display of football by the girls of the Right to Dream Academy to climax it all.

MY CURRENT OBSESSION: LOVE ANKARA FLATS

 

Hello Loves, I hope May did not take you by surprise as it did me. We are going to be alright nonetheless :-).

Everyone who knows me, knows I love sneakers (Tomboy problems lol) and the only thing I fantasize about all year would be swimwear (a contradiction maybe).

Now let's talk about my current obsession, shall we?
I'm not a ballerina kind of girl but Natives by Love Ankara got me all excited about flats, from their Eco-friendly and stylish packaging to how easy it is to put your flats in your purse or clutch. 

I love that the flats are so lightweight and comfortable, and they sure flatter my feet.
After several washes, the print does not fade and the packaging makes it ideal as a gift.

A worthy obsession if you asked me, I "heart" my flats and I "heart" the colour.


 The Native flats are made from premium leather and authentic limited edition African prints( Woodin and GTP), they are foldable and machine and hand washable. The in-soles are soft and prioritize comfort. Natives are hand-made in Ghana and available in sizes 38 to 44, delivery available both in Ghana and across the world on order and pre-order.
