Nana Konadu calls on women to aspire to greater heights
Accra, Oct. 8, Ghanadot/GNA – Nana Konadu
Agyemang Rawlings, former First Lady and President of the 31st
December Women’s Movement (DWM) on Thursday urged women to
embrace formal or non-formal education, to acquire knowledge to
better their lot.
She also asked them to attach importance to the education of
their children since they are the future leaders of the country.
Nana Agyemang Rawlings was speaking at the inauguration of 15
offices of the DWM in the Ga South District of the Greater Accra
Region.
She asked women to form income generating groups, to enable them
to save their money in the banks in order to acquire loans.
Nana Agyemang Rawlings called on them to use their daily income
or revenue judiciously.
She appealed to financial organisations to assist the movement
to operate a women’s health centre.
Mrs Rosa Dela Hornu, District Organiser said the branch, which
started with 30 women now had a membership of 4,000.
She said the women who were engaged in bakery, had also acquired
land to establish a day care centre, and a vocational school to
train women in batik, tie and dye in addition to soap making.
