The Bible Society of Ghana has begun distributing Bibles to Junior High School students nationwide to promote access to Scripture and support moral development. The initiative is part of a five-year plan to distribute 50,000 Bibles, with emphasis on underserved communities.

The Bible Society of Ghana (BSG) has launched the distribution of Bibles to Junior High School students across the country to promote access to Scripture and nurture moral values among youth. The General Secretary of BSG, Very Reverend Dr John Kwesi Addo Jnr, said the project was inspired by a survey of selected public schools that found many JHS students did not own a Bible. He made an appeal at the launch, stating that providing students with the Scriptures aims to complement their academic studies and help instil values such as integrity, honesty, and good neighbourliness. BSG plans to distribute 50,000 Bibles over the next five years, particularly in underserved communities. According to ModernGhana.com, more than 80,000 JHS pupils in the Brong Ahafo Region have received Bibles under the One-million Bible Project, which was initiated in 2007 to commemorate Ghana’s 50th anniversary of independence. ModernGhana.com also reported that more than GH¢8 million was spent on the One-million Bible Project nationwide. Most Rev. Matthew Kwasi Gyamfi, Catholic Bishop of the Sunyani Diocese, urged Ghanaians to promote good neighbourliness at all times.
