Girls Empowerment through Sport-Go Sisters has embarked on an economic empowerment programme. This programme is aimed at empowering girls on budgeting, savings and entrepreneurship skills. This programme is being implemented in two provinces Lusaka and Nyimba (Eastern province). The first induction saw 10 trainers of trainers been inducted in Nyimba and two weeks later, 20 more girls undertook a three days training in Lusaka. In an interview with one of the trained trainer.Rhodness Nkonkesha 21, from Kalundu rural. Said ‘she is currently out of school,however she runs a small business of selling charcoal within her location. The workshop was good as I never understood some basics on how to sustain my business, by means of saving, budgeting, being responsible of your own funds and above all to have a strong vision and apply the knowledge gained in such an auxiliary process for the youths. I would like to commend EduSport Foundationand Population Council for putting up this workshop which I believe never changed me only but I could see how my fellow trainers were enjoying the workshop. On the other hand, Sharon Museke one of the facilitators indicated that;apart from inducting the girls with life skill we realised that most of the girls keeps on dropping from school due to different vices and some are getting married. Therefore we thought if they have some skills on how to go about running a business it will help them in future. We also hope see these girls train others and that they will be able to manage their small business.
