EBL Foundation
THE EMPOWERING Better Life (EBL) Foundation recently visited Peduase Methodist Junior High School to educate pupils on financial literacy and ethical leadership.
The engaging session focused on cultivating good saving habits, empowering students to make informed decisions, and navigating life’s challenges.
The Founder of EBL Foundation, Lady Alma Pokuaa Adade-Prempeh, said the engagement taught pupils how to manage money effectively, save, and budget, setting them up for financial stability.
She said the selection of financial literacy is to equip children with the skills necessary to make informed financial decisions, reducing stress and anxiety.
“Not everyone knows how to save, so we are trying to encourage them, educate them to learn the importance of money. Because if you’re not financially resilient, you find life difficult. It affects your mental health, among other things,” she stressed.
Lady Alma, speaking on ethical leadership, said this plays a vital role in shaping children’s values, behaviours, and decision-making processes.
“This knowledge will help children to develop a strong moral compass, promote kindness, social responsibility, and community involvement. By teaching ethical leadership, we empower children to become responsible, compassionate, and confident individuals, prepared to succeed in life and make a positive impact on the world,” she added.
The EBL Foundation, as part of their corporate social responsibility (CSR) projects, donated a digital printing machine, a large white writing board for the school, and some goodie bags. The goodie bags contain sanitary pads for girls, hand sanitiser, refreshment, and learning materials.
According to Lady Alma, the sanitary kits were specifically provided to enable girls to manage their menstruation safely, hygienically, and with dignity.
“These reusable pads will reduce the risk of infections, discomfort, and embarrassment. And I am urging my girls to keep at least one in their bags for emergency cases,” she added.
The headmaster of the school, Mr. Joel Okine Darko, expressed gratitude to the EBL Foundation, pledging to ensure that items donated will be maintained and put to good use.
