An Ideal Home Exhibition aimed at assisting women to improve the home environment to maximise the health and well being of every member of the household was launched in Accra.

The exhibition, scheduled for April to May next year, is being organised by the Ghanaian Women Initiative Foundation (GAWIF), in collaboration with the Association of Ghana Industries.

It would be under the theme: "The Ideal Home - A vital Institution for Development and Progress". The GAWIF was established in 1999 to team up with other strategic partners to advocate for the socio-economic and political empowerment of the Ghanaian woman.

Mrs. Emma Mitchell, President of GAWIF, said the exhibition was in line with their objective to provide women with knowledge and information for their empowerment.

The exhibition, she said, would bring into focus how vital an ideal home was to the development and progress of the communities as well as the nation. "It would also raise awareness about better and cheaper means of providing an ideal home, adequate foods, alternative ways of cooking healthy and safe foods as well as preservation," she said.

Mrs. Mitchell, a Member of the Council of State, said they were of the hope that the exhibition would promote the creation of ideal communities and an ideal nation as women remain homemakers.
