The Founder and Leader of Weep No More Foundation (WNMF), Rev. Mrs. Grace Boateng, has called on women not to feel shy to acquire skills that would make their lives, and that of the families, better. According to her, learning skills does not make one a failure or unintelligent, as it is perceived in the public domain.
She strongly believed that what makes one successful was how the person creates and recreates him or herself in acquiring knowledge and skills.Mrs. Boateng made this statement when she was interviewed by The Chronicle at the WNMF day two free training in catering at Madina.
She said the foundation was keen in empowering women with the requisite skills, because they have important roles to play to support their families, communities, and the nation at large, adding: “You are not a failure if you learn how to use your hands to create items that would earn you decent money to feed your family.”

The foundation, with the assistance of Pegados Creation and Sakis Bakery, helped 25 people receive training on how to use wheat flour to bake cake and bread. The Assistant Director of Pegados Food Creation, Benedicta Ayeh, said catering was one of the beneficial trades women must endeavour to learn and take seriously.
She also advised people not to consider skills learning as jobs for school drop-outs, as it was a way to be self-employed. “The government no longer has jobs for the youth; why do we acquire skills create employment for ourselves and others?” she queried. Mrs. Ayeh advised the participants to practice personal hygiene if they want to fully use catering as a trade.
