About Ghana

Situated in Western Africa, Ghana is bordered by Ivory Coast, Burkina Faso and Togo. The country approximates the size of Great Britain with a population of 25 million inhabitants. The YHFG is located in northern Ghana, where 90 percent of the population are peasant farmers. The overall levels of educational attainment are much lower in the region, compared with the country as whole. Northern Ghana is a patriarchal society where women are traditionally excluded in decision making. Early marriages and early motherhood curtails girls and women educational and employment opportunities.
