In the past months OWDEB has facilitated vocational training in livestock rearing and small business development. The women who wanted to have more opportunities for selling their goods specifically requested this training to develop their knowledge.
20 women participated in OWDEB’s livestock training where they learned about how to raise cows, goats, ducks, chickens etc. In the Small Entrepreneurial Development program OWDEB provided them with training on mushroom cultivation, tailoring, plantation etc. Next, OWDEB will conduct trainings on candle, soap confection and food preservation according to group members’ interest.
Furthermore, 16 group leaders received an orientation on marketing management to share with their groups. Motivated by the idea of improving their markets, some of the group leaders approached the managers of the Barama area market to request a stall for selling the vegetables produced by OWDEB group members. They are currently in negotiations with the market to open this stall.
