Grow and Know Approach

The Grow and Know team aims to develop books that are grounded in the local social, cultural, and economic context, and that capture the real perspectives of young people growing up today. Young peoples’ stories are incorporated alongside factual and appropriate guidance on the physiological and emotional changes of puberty and maturation. Recognizing the importance of authenticity in pictures and language, we contract with high quality local illustrators, translators, and publishers within each country of activity.

Special thanks to Amba Duaa Mensah Forson, Mary Helena Hammond, Ellen Gyekye, and finally our greatest thanks to all the Ghanaian girls (in school and out of school) who shared their experiences and participated actively in making this book a reality.
