Read Time:1 Minute, 12 Second

The Wenchi West District of the Seventh Day Adventist (SDA) Church in the Bono Region of Ghana has recognised 20 girls, aged 13 to 16, for preserving their virginity.

During a thanksgiving service held over the weekend on the sidelines of the church’s observation of the first Sabbath of the year, the girls were each rewarded with undisclosed sums of money for their dedication and moral discipline.

The District Coordinator of the Young Adventist Women Ministries, Mrs. Nana Amponsah Poku, praised the girls for their commitment and encouraged them to continue preserving their purity until marriage.

“God created you uniquely beautiful and you must not allow anybody to lure and break your virginity until you marry,” she advised, adding a caution about choosing friends wisely in 2025.

Mrs. Poku emphasised the ministry’s commitment to shaping young women into responsible adults and called for a societal return to traditional customs that promote chastity, such as the ancient Bragoro and Dipo puberty rites.

She noted that these practices were effective in controlling teenage pregnancies and fostering the holistic development of young girls.

Associate Pastor of the Wenchi West District SDA Church, Pastor Andrews Dua Bour Kyere, also lauded the girls for their example, encouraging them to remain focused on their education and personal growth.

The honoured girls expressed gratitude for the church’s support, noting that the recognition motivates them to continue upholding the values instilled in them.
