Several Liberian women danced and sang following the launch of a Skill training and women empowerment program named and styled, ‘Amb. Dee-Maxwell Saah Kemayah Sr. Women Empowerment and Skills Training Program.’
The initiative to prioritize women of MOVEE will also benefit other women of Liberia as the training expected to be rolled out soon will target tailoring and cosmetology for the first batch for six months.
According to the Women Whig Chairperson, Angeline Gborie, the program will be run on a free-of-charge basis.
Launching the program, Dialokai Golanyon Kemayah, wife of Amb. Kemayah rallied the women to take advantage of the empowerment initiative.
She told the potential beneficiaries that if you empower a woman, you empower a nation, including helping to eradicate poverty as well as building a vibrant society.
Mrs. Kemayah appreciated her husband for creating such an empowerment opportunity for the women of Liberia.
Moreover, she pointed out that Amb. Kemayah has been in the vanguard of helping to empower women of the country through skills training initiatives and that such initiative is not the first of its kind.
She used the occasion to encourage the women of MOVEE and Liberia, in general, to make maximum use of such initiatives to make them independent and productive in society.
Hardship and lack of self-empowerment are contributing to increasing poverty in Liberia but MOVEE she emphasized, is now in the vanguard to bridge the gap and help empower the women for the betterment of the country.
“Enough is enough, it is time to help empower the women of Liberia,” she re-emphasized.
Madam Kemayah also urged the women to take seriously such opportunities and learn to the best of their abilities to make a change in the country.
“Let’s stand up, make the change, and set the right examples for our children and it is not too late to learn,” she added.
The six-month initiative, she told the women, will extend to other disciplines to include: Food preservation, soap making, and event planning among others.
Speaking at the program was the Chairman of the Opposition Coalition for Democratic Change, Janga Kowo who thanked the MOVEE for such a meaningful endeavor.
He said the initiative is key in helping to empower Liberian women to eventually take over their economy stating that said empowerment is key and a first step in said direction.
CDC, he indicated, is committed to totally transforming the country as such self-help empowerment initiatives like these are a testament to the Party’s mission to improve the lives of its people.
Meanwhile, in a happy mood, several women appreciated the political leader of MOVEE for helping to empower and transform their lives.
They pledged to make maximum use of the opportunities to empower themselves and their communities respectively.
