Over 200 women, girls benefit from Infinity Global Empowerment’s ‘Wo Ye Bra’ Conference

Over 200 women and girls from rural Ghana were trained in the areas of marketing, sales, customer relations and financial literacy at the ‘Wo Ye Bra’ Conference held by Infinity Global Empowerment.

The conference held on Monday, September 26, saw the women and young girls acquire essential business skills with which they can operate their micro and small-scaled businesses.

The women and young girls between the ages of 13 and 58 are currently beneficiaries of the Wo Ye Bra programme created by Infinity Global Empowerment and financed by Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Incorporated.

The programme provides beneficiaries with free sewing machines, fabrics and other supplies as well as money to set up their business.
