My name is IBRAHIM YAMINU ZULAIHA, a smart and energetic young lady who completed Kumbungu senior high school in the Northern Region. I come from Tamale in the Northern region of Ghana. Growing up, being a change maker has always been my dream. In my quest to do so, I became a volunteer for Theatre for Social Change. I was trained as a community facilitator and a reach for change ambassador. Through this training and coaching, I have been able to bring change to the lives of many young people in Tamale and its environs. I have passion for advocacy and through this volunteerism with Theatre for Social Change, I have had the opportunity to advocate for Sexual and Reproductive Health And Rights of young people. I can confidently say I possess the right attitude, skills and much knowledge to make a change in my community. I have engaged with the younger people in my community to make it a reality. Being a youth advocate has exposed me to a number of experiences as well as challenges confronting the youth, especially coming from a region where EARLY CHILD MARRIAGE, TEENAGE PREGNANCY, CHILD LABOR, ILLEGAL ABORTION is rampant and access to BASIC EDUCATION is low, hindering development. This has always made me wanting to do more for a social change.

My name is Suhuyini Karmil. I am an activist and a researcher who is focused on advancing equality, especially for the most vulnerable in society. I joined TFSC because of their mission; empowering young people through interactive theatre. As a volunteer, a peer educator and a facilitator on adolescent reproductive health for junior high school students in the Northern Ghana, I am able to start conversations about sex, gender norms and harmful gender stereotypes. Not only have I become more confident, I have become well versed in all issues concerning Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR). Other young people are more assertive and are willing to access youth friendly services because of the good works of TfSC in my community. The youth are also beginning to understand, appreciate gender stereotyping how toxic it is and also believe in equal rights and opportunities for everyone irrespective of gender.

My name is Peter Badu, a volunteer at Theatre for Social Change and lives in Kumasi. I’m very interested in helping people. It just seem a privilege to help someone, you might not see the person again. Helping them gives a reminder and everlasting friendship that’s why I choose to join Theatre for Social Change. What I’ve realized after joining theatre for social change was that most people are ignorant and naive about the things they do and the impact it has on them. By educating them in a pleasant way, they change and choose the right way. As I’ve said earlier, it also a privilege to save life
