The Global Media Foundation (GLoMef), a Sunyani-based non-governmental organisation has presented industrial machines and accessories to vulnerable young girls being trained in fashion design in the Sunyani Municipality of the Bono Region.
In all, GLoMef is funding the training of 20 young girls, supporting them with monthly stipends for their upkeep during the training period.
However, 15 of them were presented with standard electrical sewing machines and accessories, pledging to present another five to those left out, depending on their commitment to the exercise.
Speaking to journalists after the presentation, the Chief Executive Officer of GLoMef, Mr Raphael Ahenu, said the GH₵250,000 project was being implemented under the Resilient City Project with funding from the Swiss Botnar Foundation through ECorys UK.
The three-year project, he noted was aimed at equipping about 1,500 adolescent girls with the prime objective of upscaling the beneficiaries to about 3000.
Mr Ahenu said the broader objective of the project was to reduce the menace of teenage pregnancy and its attendant effects among vulnerable teenage girls who could be lured into social vices such as prostitution and substance abuse.
“This project is about giving young people a chance to build meaningful lives. We urge the parents to support their children and help GLoMef and our donor partners to sustain the intervention being rolled out, he stated.
Mr Ahenu urged the trainees to take their training seriously in order to achieve their aim and as well become models in their communities.
Theresa Mawuna, a beneficiary who spoke on behalf of her colleagues assured to take their training seriously in order to justify the investment made in them.

The meeting focused on Ghana’s Maternal Mortality Action and Response Programme (MMARP) and how KOICA can support the country’s push to end preventable maternal deaths.
The engagement provided an opportunity for both parties to discuss strategies to strengthen maternal healthcare services.
Also, they looked at how to address gaps in care delivery, and improve health outcomes for mothers across the country.
