The 99 Stories Project
Keeping the 99 is a shared practice. Readers across Ghana and beyond share what matters most to them: the people they cherish, the gifts they are developing, and the peace they choose to protect.
Reader voices
What readers carry with them
Reflections shared by readers who have begun returning to what is already in their hands.
I stopped measuring my year by what I did not have. The daily pause made the people around me visible again.— Reader, Kumasi
Protecting my peace felt like a small rebellion at first. Now it is simply how I keep my days kind.— Reader, Accra
The journal turned a book I finished into a practice I return to every morning.— Reader, Tamale
Keep Your 99 Ambassadors
Lead a reading circle in your city
Ambassadors steward discussions in their city or school. Apply to host a circle, and share your own story of protecting peace and cherishing people through the submission form.
Story guidelines: write in your own voice, keep it under 500 words, and share only what you are willing to publish with your name or a pen name.
