MTN Ghana Foundation empowers former Trokosi girls to pursue their entrepreneurial dreams
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The MTN Ghana Foundation has supported thirty-three (33) former Trokosi girls who graduated from the Baptist Vocational Training Centre in Frankadua, Eastern Region. The beneficiaries received certificates in Catering, Hair Dressing, Dress Making, and Cosmetology.

In addition to funding their training, the MTN Ghana Foundation provided them with seed capital and start-up equipment, including gas cylinders, ovens, sewing machines, fabrics, sewing kits, hair dryers, washing basins, hair relaxers, towels, roller stands, and hair products.

This support is to enable the graduates to setup their businesses immediately after graduation.

Commenting on the reason for the investment, Adwoa Afriyie Wiafe, Chief Corporate Services and Sustainability Officer of MTN Ghana, said, “We hope that our support will aid in their reintegration into society, reduce their dependency on their families and ultimately help them break the cycle of poverty.

She further stated, “It is our hope that they will become self-reliant by using the skills they have acquired to enhance their livelihood and that of their communities.”

Rev. Emmanuel Obani, Head of the Baptist Vocational Training Centre, praised the MTN Ghana Foundation for its assistance to the graduates. He said, “We are thankful to the MTN Ghana Foundation for supporting our graduates. This timely assistance will greatly benefit the beneficiaries in their career paths.”

This is the second time the MTN Ghana Foundation has supported the training and reintegration of former Trokosi girls. In 2021, the Foundation assisted 15 former Trokosi girls with training, equipment, and seed capital. The success of the first project helped in extending more support to the girls this year.

Since its inception in 2007, the MTN Ghana Foundation has executed over 168 major projects across Health, Education, and Economic Empowerment, positively impacting more than 4 million people throughout Ghana.
