WFWP Ghana Hosts Character Education Conferences for Students in Opah

By: Marthe Whyte

The Women’s Federation for World Peace (WFWP) Ghana successfully organized two impactful character education conferences at Opah School, located in the Opah community in the Greater Accra Region.

The WFWP-Ghana team, composed of Mrs. Marthe Whyte (President), Mrs. Emelia Adofo (Vice President), and Mrs. Vivian Nkasia (General Secretary), engaged students through informative and value-centered sessions. The program began with a conference for Junior High School (JHS) 3 students, followed by a second session for JHS 1 and JHS 2 students. In total, approximately 215 students benefited from the initiative.

The conferences focused on character education, with a strong emphasis on promoting a “zero-transmission lifestyle.” Using a flip chart as a teaching aid, the team highlighted the importance of making responsible life choices, particularly in relation to the prevention of HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases. WFWP-Ghana encouraged students to embrace abstinence before marriage as a foundation for a healthy and responsible future.

At the conclusion of the program, the team met with the school’s headmistress, Mrs. Agnes Binipom, who expressed her sincere appreciation for the timely and meaningful education provided. She especially commended the initiative for supporting the JHS 3 students as they prepare for their final examinations and transition beyond the school environment.

This outreach reflects WFWP-Ghana’s continued commitment to nurturing young people through character education and empowering them to make positive life choices.
