“These girls we are seeing today shall grow to become women tomorrow and therefore we must help train them to become the women we wish them to become”, she said.
She also sought for sponsorship to extent the program to other districts and regions.
“Programs of this nature should not be limited to Obuasi alone. We want to have similar sessions in four other districts before the year comes to an end and that requires sponsorship from individuals, donor organisations and corporate bodies. We will also welcome partnerships with other groups willing to partner with us”, Mrs Louisa Amoah added.
The event took place at Tutuka in Obuasi.
