In a bid to tackle unemployment and promote self-reliance, the Transformational Empowerment and Rural Integration in Africa (TERIA) Foundation has provided free skills training in beads-making for young people, women, and Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) in the Awutu Senya District of the Central Region.
The initiative, part of the NGO’s Intensive Beads-Making Project, equipped participants with practical knowledge on crafting necklaces, bracelets, bags, key holders, purses, and rings. By offering hands-on training, TERIA Foundation aims to transform lives through self-employment and entrepreneurship.
Founder of the Foundation, Mr. Walter Mawuli Gli, emphasized that the primary goal of the project is to improve livelihoods by equipping beneficiaries with marketable skills. “We want to empower individuals, groups, and communities so they can support themselves and their families. This training is just one of the many ways we seek to create economic opportunities,” he said.
Encouraging participants to take advantage of the program, Mr. Gli highlighted the importance of financial independence and entrepreneurship in reducing unemployment. He also expressed the foundation’s willingness to collaborate with other institutions and communities to expand the reach of such training programs.
By providing practical skill sets, TERIA Foundation is not just offering temporary assistance but creating sustainable economic pathways for vulnerable groups, fostering long-term socio-economic growth in Ghana.
