The Girls Girls for Samira Bawumia, in collaboration with the office of the Second Lady, Her Excellency Samira Bawumia, has organized a workshop to train women in income-generating activities in the Ashaiman Metropolis.

The women, numbering over a hundred and coming from various parts of the Ashaiman Metropolis, were taken through various economic and income-generating skill training, including soap making, baking, and makeup.

They were also taken through fine-tuning packaging and social media marketing, personal hygiene, and lifestyle mentorship.

The workshop, which was under the theme "Rise and Thrive: Unleashing the Power Within Women," forms part of the Girls Girls for Samira Bawumia's intentions to provide livelihoods for over 2000 women across the country in 2024.

According to the founder of Girls Girls for Samira Bawumia, Fey Gomda, the initiative is to ensure that Ghanaian women are empowered through entrepreneurship and skill development, adding that the value of women in economic development and growth cannot be overemphasized.

She stressed that the group's initiative conforms with the Second Lady's inspiration to see every Ghanaian woman strive and become financially independent.

Fey Gomda said the workshop is one of the platforms created by the Girls Girls for Samira Bawumia to equip women with the necessary tools and skills to improve their livelihoods.

She noted that the participants, after the training, will be able to set up their businesses and start making money for themselves and their families, adding that the Girls Girls for Samira Bawumia will monitor the progress of all trainees and support them with working kits and start-up packages.

Fey Gomda was very optimistic that participants of the workshop would chart a path of entrepreneurship and economic growth and therefore urged them to work very hard to achieve their goals.

Participants of the workshop thanked the Second Lady, Samira Bawumia, and the Girls Girls for Samira Bawumia for their support.
