In furtherance of its corporate mission to strengthen female leadership in Africa, SHE Empowerment Global is set to be launched in Ghana to provide poor single women, including mothers, with essential entrepreneurial skills and resources to improve their income.
A delegation, headed by the founder, Lady Patricia Adams Williams, accompanied by SHE Empowerment Global Ambassador, Dr Cheryl Polte-Williamson, and Board member Dr Shirley Clarke, is expected in the country today, for the launch, scheduled for October 11 at Alisa Hotel.
A presser issued on the eve of the delegation's arrival in Accra, said, the organisation's vision was to empower poor single women, including mothers, ages 18-35, with entrepreneurial skills to enable them to achieve economic independence and create prosperous futures for themselves. "She Empowerment Global has set out to break the cycle of poverty and dependency among single women, including mothers aged 18 to 35 by fostering economic independence through entrepreneurship training," Lady Patricia stated.
To ensure sustainability, she added, "we foster businesses that are scalable, so that participants not only generate income but can also reinvest and grow." Lady Patricia is certain that if policymakers nurture the entrepreneurial skills of women in Ghana it could help kickstart the next phase of economic development in the country.
