More than 600 youths and women in Electoral District #7 of Bong County have begun benefiting from a major skills training initiative launched by Prince Kermu Moye Sr., in a move aimed at tackling unemployment and promoting economic self-reliance across the district.
The initiative, which is expected to expand to other communities in the county, focuses on equipping participants with practical vocational skills that can help them establish small businesses and improve their livelihoods.
Speaking on the morning radio program “Good Morning Cape,” the County Coordinator in the Office of Senator Moye, Daniel Kerkulah Giddings, said the program is designed primarily to empower young people and women who are seeking opportunities to become financially independent.
According to Giddings, participants are being trained in a range of income-generating skills, including soap production, tie-and-dye making, chlorine production, and other practical trades that can be easily turned into small-scale businesses.
He noted that the program is intended not only to provide skills but also to create opportunities for residents to generate income, support their families, and contribute to the growth of the local economy.
“This initiative is about giving people the tools to stand on their own and build sustainable livelihoods,” Giddings emphasized.Meanwhile, he also commended the national government for ongoing efforts to rehabilitate major roads across Bong County.
He said, improvements in road infrastructure are the result of sustained advocacy and collaboration among county leaders and the national government.
Giddings added that such partnerships are helping to drive visible development in the county, particularly in infrastructure and community empowerment initiatives that are beginning to positively impact the lives of residents.
