The Rotary Club of Winneba has launched a livelihood vocational training and empowerment project dubbed the Ejumapa Project.

The project was organised for parents and caregivers of children with cerebral palsy within Winneba and Swedru communities.

The aim of the project is to equip the parents and caregivers with vocational and livelihood support through skills training.

The parents and caregivers were taken through liquid soap preparation. They were also given materials and ingredients needed in liquid soap making as a starter pack to initiate their soap-making business. This was to afford them a sustainable means of addressing their financial obligations.

To address other challenges the parents and caregivers contend with, they were educated on how to manage the daily care and the social and informational needs of children with cerebral palsy.

The President of the Club, Evelyn Essiful stressed that the Ejumapa Project is geared towards creating hope for the parents and caregivers and upholding Rotary International's commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion.

The Ejumapa Project is a service project of the Rotary Club of Winneba, and it was organised in partnership with Rotary Clubs of Accra - Labone, Spintex, Accra-Airport City, Morning Tide, Trinity and Takoradi-Anaji.
