Accra, May 2, 2025 — In a significant step toward fostering youth empowerment and public health, the Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Free Zones Authority (GFZA), Dr. Mary Awusi, welcomed Ms. Raynelle Nana Yaa Boadu, CEO of the Gutsy Women Foundation, during a courtesy visit focused on an upcoming national Anti-Drug Abuse Campaign.

The initiative, spearheaded by the Gutsy Women Foundation, aims to raise awareness about the dangers of drug abuse and inspire young people across Ghana to make informed, healthy choices. During the meeting, Ms. Boadu outlined the campaign’s goals and underscored the pressing need for synergy between public institutions and private organizations to combat the growing threat of substance abuse among Ghana’s youth.
