Frank Freebody Mensah, the Agona West NDC Youth Organizer in the Central Region, has extended his humanitarian gesture to a group called “Beautiful Ladies” by providing skills training to selected youth in the constituency.
According to Mr Mensah, this initiative will assist beneficiaries from various communities within the constituency who are engaged in vocational programs to acquire the necessary skills. He indicated that these skills would mitigate the high level of unemployment in the area and the country at large.
In a remarkable display of commitment to community development and youth empowerment, Mr. Mensah took a proactive approach to support the youth of Upper Bobikuma.
Mr. Mensah, who is the patron for ‘Beautiful Ladies,’ a non-partisan youth group in the area, spearheaded an initiative to provide skills training in various trades, vocations, and handiworks to 10 enthusiastic ladies of the association.
On May 22, 2024, Mr Mensah led an initiative to enrol 10 members of the ‘Beautiful Ladies Association’ into various vocational skills programs for a three-year apprenticeship. Preference was given to the beneficiaries to choose the skills they wished to learn, including fashion design, hairdressing, and more. He then led all beneficiaries to the masters of the vocations they chose to learn and paid their three-year apprenticeship fees to enable them to start their apprenticeship.
The event was attended by the parents of these youths, esteemed party officials such as the Central Regional NDC Organizer Chief Mike Dery, Deputy Secretary for the Agona West NDC Mr. Kofi Dery, as well as Branch Youth Organizers and Ward Coordinators in Upper Bobikuma.
Looking beyond this gesture of entrepreneurship, he said, “I have pledged continued support to those who aspire to learn other vocations or require financial assistance to kickstart their entrepreneurial ventures.”
“There will be an upcoming second phase of the program which aims to extend this support to a wider audience within the Beautiful Ladies youth group and the Agona West constituency at large,” he added.
He stressed that the initiative not only serves as a testament to his dedication to youth development but also reflects the NDC’s commitment to fostering a skilled and empowered young population.
He added that by investing in the future of the youth, the NDC aims to make a positive impact on the community and contribute to the party’s vision for a prosperous nation.
