Pure Paint West Africa has been helping the youth in Zongo communities through skills acquisition and development.

About seventy young people from Ghana, Niger, Mali, Burkina Faso and La Cote D'Ivoire were trained and awarded certificates in their acquired skill at the end of the training.

Speaking after the training Mr. Abdul Basit Mohammed, the administrator for Pure Paints West Africa stressed the need to continue the initiative.

"This is the fourth time we are giving training to the youth and all that I can say is that we keep on improving year after year".

He added "The product is performing well. The franchise agreement covers west Africa and Niger and they were the first country we are going to penetrate, even though talks are in progress to extend to Nigeria, and other West Africa countries".

Pure Paint West Africa is the sole distributor of Pure Paints products in West Africa. The products are used for both internal and external decoration.
