FLOW Global Impact, a pioneering organization co-founded by Dr. Papa Ofori-Addo and Peace Delali is pleased to be among the recipients of the prestigious European Union Youth Empowerment Fund grants implemented through the Global Youth Mobilization.

Additionally, the organization will provide education and resources on mental, sexual, and reproductive health, promoting holistic well-being and agency among women.

We look forward to working with the EU Youth Empowerment Fund, the Global Youth Mobilization (GYM) and our partners to make a meaningful impact in the lives of women and girls."

With this grant, FLOW reaffirms its position as a leader in the field of digital inclusion and women's empowerment. The organization's work has the potential to transform the lives of thousands of women, enabling them to access new opportunities, build their confidence, and take control of their health and well-being.
