This year’s event is a partnership with Node Eight Women, a nonprofit and digital innovation hub dedicated to empowering women and girls in various communities.
The GroomDatGirl initiative aims to inspire and empower young girls in the Volta Region and beyond. It seeks to provide a platform for girls to realize their full potential and explore the opportunities that lie ahead of them, helping them become the best versions of themselves.
This year’s emphasis on sports is intended to encourage girls to participate in athletic activities and consider sports as a viable career path.

The event will also feature interactive sports sessions and activities, including a panel discussion with celebrated athletes, along with opportunities for girls to network, connect, and develop their skills with like-minded individuals.
Young female athletes from various sports disciplines are expected to attend the event, which promises to be an inspiring and empowering experience for all participants.
The event will be honored by the presence of Elizabeth Opoku, captain of the Ghana Female Hockey Team and three-time SWAG Award winner.
Mamaga Tina Fugah, a dedicated educator, sports personality, and community leader, will deliver the keynote address on the theme “Empowering Girls in Sports.” Other speakers include Madam Vivian Mawufemor Dougblor, a sports management professional with multiple degrees and extensive experience in sports administration, teaching, and event organization.
