International Women’s Hope Centre trained seventeen (17) women on how to make liquid soap and hand sanitizer to support themselves at Sumbrungu, a suburb of Bolgatanga Municipality in the Upper East Region.

The one-day training program which forms part of IWHC’s activities of the year 2021 is meant to provide skill training to teenagers and the elderly women in the society to make income due to the high demand of liquid soap and hand sanitizer as a result of the outbreak of the covid-19 pandemic.

Speaking at the training program, Madam Gladys Anayem, the Centre Director of IWHC entreated the young women and teenage girls to make good use of the training they had received. She added that this will add more income to their pockets as liquid soap and hand sanitizer could be sold to better their lot.

The women were grouped into two for a small group discussion on abstinence and leadership values. Those within the teenage group treated Abstinence as a topic from the Relationship Under Construction Curriculum while those above the teenage benefited from the iChoose Youth Leadership Value Program where courses such as choices, growth, attitude and commitment was handled by Madam Alice Tisga

The leader of the group, Madam Comfort Serwa expressed her delight in the training they have received. She on behalf of the women’s group thanked IWHC for the knowledge impacted and promised to make good use of the training they have received.
