On February 11th more than 30 girls gathered for the very first HCI ‘Girls, Girls Talk’, a girls group established as a place for girls to come and learn about girl’s and women’s issues in a safe and fun environment.  The group has discussed female specific hygiene, reproductive health, STI’s/HIV, and future meetings will focus on education, faith, and healthy relationships.  Most participants are between the ages of 10 and 18 years of age, and after three meetings with strong attendance, we continue to attract new members.   The meetings also incorporate activities such as drawing, sewing, volleyball, and more.

HCI

 

Hoops Care International (HCI) is a non-governmental organization located in the community of Amanful in Cape Coast, Ghana. It officially began in 2008 as a program to empower youth in the community through sports. Since then, it has grown to include care and outreach surrounding health and education. HCI works closely with youth from twelve schools in Cape Coast, along with single mothers, teen mothers, and handicapped individuals. In addition to running regular activities and programs surrounding sports, health, and education, HCI also coordinates events to address important issues. HCI has made a significant impact with its programs already, and always looks for new ways to support and empower community members
