The Kayayei Empowerment Program, an innovative initiative spearheaded by the National Entrepreneurship Innovation Program (NEIP) under the auspices of Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has celebrated a significant milestone by graduating 600 women from the Madina and Ashaiman constituencies.

This achievement underscores the program’s commitment to economically empowering Kayayei women—who traditionally work as head porters—by enhancing their overall well-being and equipping them with skills to break the cycle of poverty.

Over the course of a comprehensive three-week training, participants acquired valuable skills in soap making, bead making, baking, and makeup artistry, laying the foundation for their journey into entrepreneurship.

Speaking at the graduation ceremony, NEIP CEO Kofi Ofosu Nkansah praised the Vice President’s initiative, stating, “It is prudent for every government to train its people, especially the youth, to be job creators and not job seekers.”

The Kayayei Empowerment Program is part of NEIP’s broader goal of training 5,000 Kayayei women by the end of the year, reflecting the government’s dedication to reducing unemployment and fostering economic growth within marginalized communities.

Graduates expressed deep gratitude to the Vice President and NEIP team for the life-changing opportunity. Eleiham Habibu, one of the graduates, shared, “We are thrilled to have completed this training and are eager to put our new skills to good use. We promise to make the Vice President and our country proud by becoming successful entrepreneurs and contributing to Ghana’s economic growth.”

The Kayayei Empowerment Program has the potential to transform the lives of thousands of Kayayei women, equipping them with the skills, confidence, and support needed to succeed in business and uplift their socio-economic status.
