Over 400 women from Nakpayili and Bimbilla have benefited from a training in soap making.
Organized by Abuya Foundations for Women Empowerment, the two-day training offered the women the opportunity to learn first-hand skills that will change their lives for the better.
The training, which originally targeted 300 women, ended up recording excess numbers as women who were initially invited shared the good news with other compatriots.
According to the foundation’s representative, Iddrisu Aminu, “as an entity with the wellbeing of women at heart, we quickly adjusted to take all on board. These women thronged the venues for the training both at Nakpayili and Bimbilla with excitement, beaming with smiles and couldn’t simply be turned away.”
“This was an opportunity for the women to be imparted with valuable skills,” he added, stressing the point that it will also create employment opportunities for the women of Nanung.
On behalf of the CEO, Tahidu Abdul Jalil, Iddrisu Aminu further disclosed that there are plans to support the women with start-up capital soon.
He, however, indicated that he was happy to see the women learn and get equipped with knowledge that will change their lives positively.
He added that the foundation’s work is not political.
“This is a non-profit, non-political movement. We are only an organisation with the sole aim of making life comfortable for the Ghanaian woman.”
The elated women expressed their profound gratitude to the CEO of Abuya Foundation for his generosity and requested his support for funds to kickstart production since this was the only way they could help practicalise the skills acquired during the training.
Meanwhile, the Abuya Foundation says it has received a lot of proposals from many women and intends to roll them all in in its next set of communities, which will be announced soon.
