Chiefs and Queen Mothers are the bastions of development and indispensable agents of positive social change. Unicef recognises the many great contributions made by Nananom in society, especially the key roles they have played as role models to Children and the efforts made to eliminate and modify harmful traditional practices” Mrs Saori Ohkubo, former Assistant Project Officer, Education Section.

“As for me and my Council of Elders, we shall make sure that all girls go to school” Nana Abuna V stated on the 12th May 2004 when she hosted the durbar on Girl Child Education “towards the achievement of gender parity in education in Ghana.

Traditional rulers play a pivotal role in the socio-economic development of Ghana. Both Chiefs and Queen Mothers are esteemed in their respective communities as the door keepers of tradition and change. in times past they determined and sanctioned the norms and values of society and instituted measures to monitor their use and application. With the introduction of modern laws and policies however, Chiefs and Queen Mothers now play the unique role of ensuring effectiveharmonisation of the old and new for the betterment of society.

Nana Abuna V with the support of other partners have institued a scholarship to the girl child education within and around Essipun Community to ensure that all children go to school. Nana Abuna V Education Fund was launched to cater for the needy but brilliant children from Basic school to the University level.
