Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>The National Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme (NEIP) has commenced training for head potters, commonly called \u2018Kayayeis\u2019 as part of the \u2018Kayayei\u2019 Empowerment Programme under the auspices of the Office of the Vice President in Madina and Ashaiman.<\/b><\/p>\n

Starting on Tuesday, May 28, the training will cater to 5,000 beneficiaries, with 600 participants per cohort each month, running until December 2024.<\/p>\n

The training modules include beading and jewelry, soaps and detergents, makeup artistry, bakery, decor, pedicure and manicure, among others.<\/p>\n

This initiative follows the inauguration of the Kayayei Empowerment Training Centre by Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia on Tuesday, May 21, in Madina, Accra.<\/p>\n

The Centre is well-equipped with two training rooms, three pantries, a kitchen, a clinic, 15 washrooms, five dormitories, fire extinguishers, CCTV, 24\/7 security, and food shed.<\/p>\n

Additionally, training and hostel facilities under the Kayayei Empowerment Project are located in various parts of Accra and Kumasi.<\/p>\n

The primary aim of the Kayayei Empowerment Programme is to provide head porters with Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET).<\/p>\n

The programme is designed to impart practical skills and knowledge to prepare participants for specific trades and occupations.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the event, Dr. Bawumia addressed the scepticism and criticisms surrounding the project, expressing his confidence in its success and the positive impact it will have on the lives of the \u2018Kayayeis\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I made this promise on behalf of the government, there were many who thought it was not a realistic promise. They thought it was not possible. They said it was a 419 scheme, but I knew that \u2018insha Allah\u2019 it was possible for us to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had COVID in 2020, and we had to recover from it and so what we are doing for Kayayeis today is part of a whole programme of activity of our government to help the poor and the vulnerable,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
