The founder of Asomdwee Ntontom Som, Okronkronyi Nyame Somafo Yawoh, has recently highlighted the critical need for religious institutions to play a more active role in empowering the youth of Ghana. In an interview, he emphasized that many young people feel disheartened due to pressing issues such as unemployment and social pressures, which has led to a rise in social vices. He believes that by addressing these issues, religious bodies can help the youth not only find their place in society but also contribute effectively to the nation’s development.

Yawoh urged religious organizations to take initiative by implementing mentorship programs and community outreach efforts aimed at youth engagement. According to him, such programs would not only provide the necessary guidance but also instill confidence in the younger generation. He stressed that equipping them with skills is vital, as it would help them navigate the challenges they face and cultivate their potential to foster a brighter future for themselves and Ghana as a whole.

The urgency of these measures reflects a broader concern for the well-being of youth in Ghana. With rising unemployment and social unrest, the need for constructive solutions is more pressing than ever. Yawoh's call to action serves as a reminder of the responsibilities that religious institutions bear in shaping the societal landscape and underscores the potential impact they can have through dedicated youth empowerment initiatives.
