Sanoyea, Bong County – It was an exciting and colorful morning when 278 “illiterate” women in Sanoyea, Bong County, were certificated over the weekend for successfully completing 15 weeks of intensive trainings in entrepreneurship. The Business Entrepreneurship Program implemented by youth crime watch Liberia is under the auspices of the Peace Child International with support from the Norwegian government. The Executive Director of Youth Crime Watch added that the 15 weeks program focused on market research, and customer service amongst others. She also challenged Youth Crime Watch to extend the program to other communities in order for more women to be empowered and supported for a sustainable future. Though she welcomed the numerous of advocacies ongoing across the country, she believes that change will only come when Liberian women take ownership of the positive changes they desire.
