These 10 stories are part of our newest collection: The Inspire Us collection. The collection was created as part of our Inspire Us project, which leverages mobile technology to bring empowering stories to girls and women across Ghana and West Africa.

We’re honored to be able to positively impact the lives of millions more girls. And we’re determined to do it right. So, as an organization we asked ourselves “how can we use our work to help women and girls read and dramatically accelerate progress towards a more gender-equal world?” This led us to creating four gender equality principles to guide our work and everything we do.

Ghana's Akua Amankwah, has been adjudged the overall winner of Worldreader 'inspire Us' writing competition in West Africa, grabbing the $2000.00 prize.
