Today, the Ministry of Agriculture proudly witnessed the graduation of 36 women who successfully completed a 3-month skills training programme facilitated by the Ministry’s Home Economics Officers.
The graduates were equipped with valuable life-changing skills including sewing, baking, detergent making, and many more entrepreneurial skills aimed at improving livelihoods and creating sustainable income opportunities.
Delivering the keynote address, Nozizwe Tsabedze Zwane congratulated the graduates and encouraged them to build partnerships and upscale their businesses. She challenged them to aim higher and produce garments that can one day be sold in the country’s major retail stores.
She also expressed sincere gratitude to World Vision Eswatini for supporting the programme through the provision of fabric and other sewing materials.
“No one can take your skill away from you. This is the beginning of a better life because you will use these skills to create better opportunities for yourselves,” she said.
She further reaffirmed Government’s commitment, through the Ministry of Agriculture, to continue empowering Emaswati , especially women with free practical skills training that can help them earn a living and improve their quality of life.
Congratulations to all the graduates on this remarkable achievement! Your hard work, dedication, and determination have paid off.
A special appreciation goes to Instructor Londiwe Gule Madonsela for the incredible work and commitment in empowering these women with practical skills that will not only transform their own lives, but also positively impact their families and communities.
