How coding changes lives in Ghana

Available for over a year

Nima is one of the largest and poorest districts in the Ghanaian capital Accra. The Achievers Club of Nima was set up in 2011 by a young girl who escaped a forced marriage aged 12, and now provides extra lessons for girls in the area. Bola Mosuro visited their classroom on the first floor of a local mosque to report on a coding class for girls. But the tables were turned when 13-year-old Adama took Bola’s mike and proceeded to narrate a tour of the area, and talk about the problems young girls living in Nima face.
