Takoradi, Sept. 7, GNA - Madam Abena Kwallah, Western Regional Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has donated one sewing machine each and GH=A2 1,100 Ghana cedis to a group of 11 girls to enable them to undergo apprenticeship in dressmaking and designing. The cost of the machines and cash totalling GH=A2 2,700 (27 million cedis) was the personal donation from Madam Kwallah to support the vulnerable in the society.

At the presentation ceremony in Takoradi, recently, Madam Kwallah said her vision was to support the needy and vulnerable, particularly unemployed young girls to enable them to undertake income-generating ventures.

She said it was only when girls were empowered to earn good income that they could support their families and also lead decent lives. Madam Kwallah said the Government would pursue its objective to create jobs and to enhance opportunities for the private sector to grow. She urged women to take up the challenge brought about by the Government's policy to support those in the micro and small-scale business sectors by becoming more creative and innovative in their vocations. Madam Kwallah advised the beneficiaries to be God-fearing and to avoid promiscuous and ostentatious lifestyles. Nana Owusu Ankomah, NPP Regional Chairman, called on the Party's supporters to intensify their campaign to achieve a resounding victory in the forthcoming elections. He advised women leaders within the rank and file of the Party to promote unity and solidarity among NPP supporters and sympathisers. 7 Sept. 07
