Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>Women for Change South Sudan has collaborated with the Turkish embassy to launch a soap-making and tailoring training programme. More than 500 disadvantaged women are set to benefit from the project.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the launch yesterday, the South Sudan Minister of Gender, Child and Social Welfare, Aya Benjamin Warille, said it was great to see such initiatives being sponsored by the country\u2019s partners to ensure that the less fortunate people have access to opportunities.<\/p>\n

She said it was time for everyone in the country to recognise South Sudanese women\u2019s contributions to national development, noting that the revived peace accord had also reformed it.<\/p>\n

According to the minister, the country\u2019s data shows that more than half of the population are female and that the process cannot be completed without women\u2019s participation.<\/p>\n

\u201cSingle mothers, widows, women with impairments, and other vulnerable groups will be able to support themselves with the training they are receiving from this project. I am sure if our women get empowered, the whole country will be stable in terms of economic growth,\u201d Aya stressed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe country is currently suffering as a result of a large number of children on the streets, and it is as a result of men\u2019s inability to care for their children,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

She advised the women to form organisations and work together. Focus on women Erdem Mutaf, the Turkish Ambassador to South Sudan, said one of his country\u2019s top priorities is to strengthen women in South Sudan.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of our top priorities is to empower women, and we think that by empowering women, we are empowering a society that will develop economically powerful,\u201d Amb Mutaf said.<\/p>\n

He said it was for that reason that Turkey has been supporting women and children in all aspects of economic empowerment in the country. \u201cToday, with this technology and apparatus, many people will be able to enhance their talents to earn money for themselves and their families,\u201d said the Turkish envoy.<\/p>\n

The diplomat encouraged South Sudanese women to take advantage of the chance and ensure that the skills they get from the training benefit them, their families, and women in other nations.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Executive Director of Women for Change, South Sudan, Anna Tazita Samuel, hailed the Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TIKA) for its continued support.<\/p>\n

She said the support would enable them to continue their mission of reducing poverty and encouraging resilience among the women they had reached. Tazita said Women for Change is a nationwide women-led group whose mission is to advocate for and empower women through entrepreneurship and other sources of income.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe major reason we are here today is to see and celebrate the start of this initiative, particularly the Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency\u2019s contribution of many suing machines and other training machines for both tailoring and soap production,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Ms. Tazita said the organization\u2019s ambition was to have women who could better their economic status so that the country could construct a sustainable nation in the future. She stressed that the contribution and launch came at the ideal time to help them achieve their goal of empowering young women.<\/p>\n
