The First lady of Ghana, Mrs. Rebecca Naa Okaikor Akufo- Addo has charged graduates from the Rebecca Foundation’s Terema Women Empowerment initiative to ensure that skills and knowledge acquired during the training programme are invested in activities that impact positively on the growth of our societies.
According to her, the skills development programme in soap making should help them to establish or expand their businesses.
Speaking at the Rebecca Foundation/ NBSSI Soap Making Graduation ceremony under the foundation’s Terema Initiative where about 45 women graduated today, the First Lady charged them to use the skills as starter packs to bolster the certain chance of a decent living standards.
“Today, you have also been armed with skills and starter-packs to make a decent living. Please make good use of the knowledge and skills you received, to improve your lives”.
She also adviced them to stay strong and committed despite life challenges to enable them do bigger things.
“Nothing good is easy, so just believe in yourselves, because I believes in you”.
Mrs. Akufo- Addo also took the opportunity to express her gratitude to the National Board for Small Scale Industries for reducing unemployment and contributing to Ghana’s economic growth.
The Rebecca Foundation under its women empowerment Terema initiative has since 2017 provided skills training and business assistance to hundreds of women across the country.
