When we hosted the National Youth Consultation by the @uninghana on the margins of the 6th African Youth SDGs Summit, some non-Ghanaians who wanted to sit in our session asked:

“Why should I sit in a National Youth Consultation for Ghanaian youth if I am not Ghanaian?”

It was a fair question, and I addressed it in my opening remarks.

As young people, our contexts may be very different. We come from different countries, speak different languages, carry different passports and navigate very different systems.

It may take my friend with another passport days to get a visa to come to my part of the world, but it may take someone from my part of the world much longer to get a visa to go to theirs.

Yet, somehow, our stories often meet.

In a Leadership class taught by Professor Simon-Peter Kafui Aheto, I watched a video of a young man named Samson from a neighbouring African country, speaking about unemployment, unaffordable housing and bureaucracies that exclude young people from opportunities.

The interesting part?

It was not my first time hearing Samson’s story. I had first encountered it in 110 characters on X, told by a young woman miles away from him and from most of my friends.

Our paths may never cross, but somehow, our stories have.

This #InternationalYouthDay, themed “Different Contexts, Common Aspirations,” I am reminded that while our realities may differ, young people everywhere continue to seek dignity, opportunity, meaningful participation, decent work, quality education and a sustainable future.

Perhaps our differences should not stop us from learning from one another.

Decision-makers and duty bearers should look beyond their borders, learn from what works elsewhere, and adapt those lessons to their own contexts, with young people meaningfully involved in the process.

Different contexts. Common aspirations.

Reflecting on the 6th African Youth SDGs Summit 🌍

Three words have stayed with me since the closing session: Innovate. Lead. Transform.

Not as buzzwords, as a mandate.

Innovate: because Africa’s challenges will not be solved by inherited playbooks. They demand creativity sharp enough to cut through bureaucracy, scarcity, and inertia.

Lead: because waiting for permission is a luxury the SDG clock does not afford us. Leadership, for this generation, means stepping forward before the room makes space for you.

Transform: because brilliance without action is just potential left on the table. Ideas only count when they become infrastructure, policy, and lived change.

But beneath those three words was something rawer: audacity.

The audacity to defy the odds stacked against young African changemakers. The audacity to break the status quo, not from the front, with noise and spectacle, but from the backend: in the policy drafts, the legal frameworks, the quiet architecture of systems most people never see.

Because that’s where the status quo actually lives. And that’s where it actually breaks.

Something has to give.

Grateful to have been in a room with people building that future, not someday, but now.

A milestone we’ll never forget. 🇰🇪💜

Just moments before delivering our very first Like Her Project sessions in Kenya, our Like Her Project Lead, Maud, reflects on AKAYA Foundation’s journey; from empowering thousands of girls across Ghana to taking this work beyond our borders for the very first time.

What started as a vision has grown into a movement that is equipping girls with the knowledge, confidence, and support they need to thrive.

Kenya marks an exciting new chapter for The Like Her Project, and we’re only just getting started.

Stay tuned as we take you on the journey and share the stories, impact, and unforgettable moments from our first international pilot.

Here’s to empowering even more girls across Africa. 🌍❤️

GGGA is happy of this achievement and would like to use this opportunity to call out to every member of WAGGGS to support our own: Scotia is a seasoned guide trained over the years to give back and this is her time to do that. Let’s all come together, support her candidacy and give her the opportunity to serve, like she always does.

Tell a friend to remind a sister or key contact in WAGGGS.

Every Girl…Every Region…Every Voice!!

I grew up dreading the days my period would finally show up.

It wasn’t something I thought qualified as a casual conversation topic.
I thought it was embarrassing.

I saw how we all looked at girls who innocently stood to answer questions in class or walked around with blood stains on their uniforms. When that happened to you, school was over for the rest of the week.

The period pain, we could manage.
The embarrassment? That was the harder part.

I couldn’t even bring myself to ask for pads. That was what made me ask anytime someone invited me on any outreach, to a remote community or to a school, even if it had nothing to do with menstrual health, “Can we bring pads along?”

So many of us grew up whispering and hiding over something that is completely natural.

But periods are not disgusting.

A period-friendly world looks like schools with clean washrooms and access to menstrual hygiene kits.
It looks like classrooms where girls are not laughed at for leaking.
It looks like workplaces built with empathy.
It looks like conversations without mockery, silence, or stigma.

A #periodfriendlyworld is a world where menstrual health is treated like an actual health issue.

Thank you to everyone who is working to make this more than just a hashtag🤍.

Over the years, as young girl growing I have developed strong passion for women and young girls. Though society has made " women and girls" as VULNERABLES in the past , which I strongly do not suppor

I am excited to share with you my insights from the international summit held on March 28th,2026 by AKAYA FOUNDATION Yes, it was a virtual summit but so involving, it was not just listening to the presenters but there were break out sessions. We were taken through how to overcome fears, build confidence, visibility and building our identity as women and girls. Experiences, were shared, challenges and how to solve the problem and not let it slide. Empowering and pushing women and girls when they get opportunities and how to thrive anywhere we found ourselves with the "can do spirit"
I have learnt that navigating new things when I want to and not saying "I don't have that confidence" because confidence is built when you start to put yourself in whatever you want to do and seeing yourself as the change maker. I am glad I was part of this impactful and memorable day to connect, grow and learn in diverse ways.
