Students across Ghana are discovering new worlds through African literature, thanks to UBA Ghana’s commitment to education and youth development.
As part of its flagship Read Africa Project, UBA has organised interactive reading clinics and donated rich collections of African books to selected schools, nurturing a strong reading culture and equipping students with tools for personal and academic growth.
These initiatives come ahead of International Literacy Day in September.
The beneficiary schools, Fiaseman Senior High School, Accra Academy, and Osei Tutu Senior High School received book donations designed to broaden horizons, strengthen literacy skills, and unlock creativity among students.
The books were ‘The Kaya Girl’ by Mamle Wolo and Segu by Maryse Conde.
Speaking at the ceremonies across the three regions, UBA representatives reaffirmed the bank’s belief that education remains one of the most powerful instruments for personal transformation and community advancement.
They expressed optimism that the contributions would not only enrich students’ academic journeys but also reinforce values such as empathy, inclusion, and emotional well-being, which are essential for holistic development.
School authorities and students warmly expressed their gratitude to UBA for its continued support, highlighting that such partnerships help nurture well-rounded graduates who are academically competent and socially responsible.
UBA also took the opportunity to encourage students to participate in its annual National Essay Competition, which provides a platform for young people to showcase their writing skills and critical thinking abilities.
The competition awards university scholarships to the top three finalists, underscoring UBA’s commitment to supporting academic excellence while easing the financial burden of higher education.
Through initiatives like the Read Africa Project, UBA is not only putting books into the hands of students but also opening doors to imagination, knowledge and opportunity.
By nurturing a love for reading, the bank is helping to shape confident future leaders while supporting the personal growth and well-being of young people in Ghana and across Africa.
