Five caregivers trained in Ayawaso North

ECG Vocational Training Institute, Ayawaso North, Accra

Nkrabea's three-day Skills Development Programme for caregivers of persons with disabilities ran from 5 to 7 November 2026 at the ECG Vocational Training Institute in Ayawaso North, Accra.

It was led by Ms. Sarah Serwaa Asamoah, Founder and Executive Director, in partnership with the DFMC of Ayawaso North Municipal Assembly. Five caregivers took part, and because the group was small, every one of them had full hands-on practice.

What they learnt

  • Liquid soap
  • Shower gel
  • Powerzone

Nkrabea thanks the Department of Social Welfare and Community Development and the DFMC for their support and collaboration.
