It was a great pleasure this afternoon, in Accra, as Dr. Bawumia commissioned a multi-purpose hostel facility for head potters (Kayayei), as well as a training program, the Kayayei Empowerment Programme for them.
The commissioning of the ultra-modern residential facility and training center is in fulfillment of a promise he made to the head potters, on behalf of the government, when he visited their hub in Agbogbloshie, Accra, to greet them.
The two facilities in Madina and Ashaiman, in addition to more facilities being built in Kumasi and Techiman, are expected to rapidly impact the over 100,000 Kayayei in the country and offer them sustainable livelihood.
Dr. Bawumia expressed profound gratitude to the following government agencies: the Ghana Enterprises Agency (GEA), National Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme (NEIP), Youth Employment Agency (YEA), Council for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (CTVET), Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFund), Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), District Assemblies Common Fund (DACF), Ghana Gas, Ghana Health Service, and BOST, as well as the Father Campbell Foundation, for their collaborative efforts in making this possible.
Indeed, it is possible!
