MENTORSHIP & TRAINING
PROJECT SKILL UP EKUMFI
We travelled to Ekumfi in the Central Region to meetwith the chief and kinsmen on how to empower the young ladies in the town to set up their own businesses, no matter how small. We spoke about organizing training and mentoring sessions, where the young ladies can learn how to make soap, cook, bake, make beverages, etc. The meeting was crowned with a durbar and the young ladies danced and showed appreciation for the decisions that had been taken on their behalf.
CULINARY TRAINING 1 & 2
We partnered with Kemly’s Culinary School on two occasion to teach our young ladies how to bake vanilla cake, meat pie, bread rolls, chinchin,etc. This really helped our young ladies. After the session, all the ladies could bake. The good news is that, through that training, some of the young ladies have started a business in that field
Financial Literacy
This training was done in collaboration with ‘Ellevate’ by Ecobank. The young ladies received training on how to manage their finances as young business women. The head of Women’s desk at Ecobank, Dr Loretta Sarpong, took the ladies through the opening of business accounts so the funds of the young business women could be monitored so their start up capital is not wasted through impulse buying

As a network, Awiba empathizer with women with small scale businesses who are striving to make ends meet and to make something out of the little they have. That is why we financially support women like Francesca, a hawker and food vendor. We give these women funds to grown their businesses in order to make life better for these hardworking woemen and their families.
