Norsaac, an organisation dedicated to enhancing the lives of women, youth, and marginalised groups, has successfully graduated 30 youth artisans in Tamale, located in the Northern Region. This milestone comes after an intensive training program designed to equip these young individuals with valuable skills in tailoring, tile laying, and construction.

Skills Training for the Future by Norsaac
The graduates underwent upgraded skills training in their chosen crafts, enhancing their expertise and marketability. Upon completion, they were provided with essential toolkits, grants, and mentorship to help them build and sustain their businesses. This support is designed to not only improve their skills but also to increase their earning potential.
Empowering Youth, Especially Women
Madam Hafsatu Sey Sumani, Head of Programme Policy and Influencing at Norsaac, emphasised the project’s alignment with the organisation’s core mission: empowering young people, especially women, with the tools to create sustainable livelihoods. She highlighted the importance of providing technical assistance and financial support to help these young artisans thrive.
“I believe that if the beneficiaries also train young people from their communities, it will help reduce the Kayayei issue in the region, especially among girls aged 10-15 years,” said Madam Sumani. By fostering skills development, the organisation aims to break the cycle of poverty and offer young women an alternative to precarious employment.
Norsaac’s Commitment to Youth Empowerment
Madam Sumani assured that Norsaac will continue its efforts to support youth through skills development programs. The organisation’s ultimate goal is to help these young artisans become influential leaders in their communities, driving positive change and creating opportunities for others.
Through this initiative, the organisation not only addresses immediate economic challenges but also plants the seeds for long-term social impact, offering a brighter future for youth and their communities.
