Twenty women in the Wenchi Municipality of Bono Region have received training in soap making as part of efforts to enable them secure quality livelihoods.
The participants were taken through a two day soap making training which includes liquid soap, shampoos, washing soaps and other detergents needed in homes.
Mrs Comfort Owusu Asamoah, the Constituency Women's Organizer of the NPP in Wenchi said the efforts was geared at assisting Women in the Constituency to acquire skills that will empower them to become economically viable.
According to her the programme which is funded by Association of African Women In Development ( AAWID), is supporting the beneficiaries with tools to enable them produce enough for both commercial and private consumption.
The participants commended AAWID for empowering them to provide to provide quality education to their wards.
Ms. Wendy Atakle Esinam, the facilitator of the programme said acquiring employable skills by women was a major step towards self-sufficiency and therefore admonished them not to look down on themselves in life but rather believe in themselves s they could live dignified lives in the society.
Using Japanese Women as an example, she said that when Japan fall after the 2nd world war it is the women who built the nation to some points before men came and assist them to head.
She therefore advised women against being idle and expecting their husbands to provide everything at home.
