GTS Hub brought girls to actively participate in this inspiring, story-driven adventure at the Wondaland Photo Museum, Accra. Shaping bold, confident futures — one story at a time.
Confidence is a skill. Like any skill, it can be taught, practised, and strengthened. At GTS Hub, we believe that empowering young women for careers in Ghana's green economy begins long before training starts — it begins with how they see themselves.
That belief is what inspired us to take a group of young women to Wondaland Photo Museum in Accra — Ghana's first immersive photo experience. The result was something we will be talking about for a long time.
Why Wondaland?
Wondaland is not just a museum — it is a story. Each room is an invitation to see yourself differently, to play, to create, and to imagine. For young women who are often told that technical careers are 'not for them', spending time in a space that celebrates creativity, boldness, and self-expression has a powerful effect.
The Girls at Ease initiative is part of GTS Hub's commitment to ensuring that our 50% female participation target is not just a number — it is a reality backed by genuine investment in the confidence and wellbeing of the young women we serve.
“Today I felt free. Like I could do anything. And I am going to take that feeling into everything — including the green energy training.”

The Bigger Picture
Women are significantly underrepresented in renewable energy in Ghana and across Africa. Structural barriers — from limited access to technical education to social norms that steer women away from 'hands-on' careers — are real and persistent.
GTS Hub's approach is to address these barriers directly: through targeted outreach to girls in schools, mentorship by women already working in green sectors, and events like Girls at Ease that create space for young women to envision themselves in technical careers.
The girls who attended Wondaland came back different. More certain. More ready. And that readiness is exactly what Ghana's green transition needs.
