The Accra Branch Coordinator of Chance for Children (CFC), a non-governmental organisation (NGO), Mr Freeman Mensah, says in partnership with relevant stakeholders, the NGO has been empowering street children with employable skills to lead meaningful lives.
Mr Mensah announced that the Accra branch of the CFC had launched a pre-apprenticeship programme for the youth at the age of 15 years and above to enable them to gain soft skills and practical experience in various vocational fields.
Mr Mensah, who made this known at the 25th anniversary celebration of CFC in Accra on Tuesday, stressed that the initiative would definitely prepare the youth in the street to be self-employed and lead meaningful lives.
According to him, the celebration brought together selected master craftsmen, who were prepared to partner with CFC to deliver the training programme and discussed the implementation process, goals and reinforcing the partnership essential for its success.
