As part of the Livelihood Skills Training implemented by Girls' Power Initiative (GPI) Calabar, it was amazing to see females among others take part in Welding and Electricals. Other skills beneficiaries venutred into included: Alumaco fabrication, Fashion design and embroidery. The training lasted for 8months and upon completion, trainees were given starter packs to begin their businesses.
A female trainee (Catherine M.) who was further sent to Ilorin to undergo a two-week training on underground pipeline fabrication and installation expressed her gratitude thus: "I am really happy that i had an opportunity to do what i have always wanted to do. I say thank you to the sponsors and to GPI for encouraging me. I am glad"
