Maxlyn Chelsy Sey in collaboration with The Richard Addison Foundation have launched the “Boss Up 100” project at Duapa Werkspace to provide 6 months intensive training in diverse fields under TVET to less privileged women in the Western Region.
With the advancement of technology, cultural, economic activities, and the increasing rate of youth unemployment, there is the need for the youth especially women to acquire and deepen skills, knowledge and have the right attitude to aid poverty reduction.
As the United Nations focuses on achieving Sustainable Development Goal 1 which is ending extreme poverty by 2030, this we believe can be achieved through Vocational and Technical Training.
“Skills and knowledge acquired under this project will enable women to take control of their lives and improve their standard of living as well as boost their confidence” Chelsy Sey said in an interview.
“The first phase of the Boss Up 100 seeks to target 100 underprivileged young ladies in the Western Region who will be given 6 months intensive training in diverse fields such as Fashion Designing, upholstery, makeup artistry, hospitality amongst others so they can take control of their lives and finances.”
The Richard Addison Foundation, a Non-Governmental Organization that has been in existence for the past 12 years mostly engaging in capacity building for the less privileged youth within the region, and Duapa Werkspace a social enterprise and an entrepreneurship hub located in the Western Region are heavlity supporting this project.
