The Member of Parliament, Dorcas Affo-Toffey, has brought smiles and fulfillment to artisans in her municipality by honoring her promise to support them in their quest to seek self-employment under the National Apprenticeship Programme (NAP).
The MP presented seventy artisans under the NAP with sewing machines, hair dryers, barbering clippers, and other working tools.
The artisans, who were drawn from the entire Jomoro Municipality, included dressmakers, seamstresses, tailors, hairdressers, and barbers.
Twenty-five hairdressers who have finished their NAP, alongside those who are still learning under the programme but can work in tandem with it, will receive a hairdryer each.
Twenty barbers will receive hair clippers each, while twenty-five dressmakers and seamstresses will receive a sewing machine each.
This self-funded initiative by the MP supports her constituents in diverse ways and fulfills her promise of supporting whoever is willing to help themselves.
Madam Affo-Toffey, who is also the Deputy Transport Minister, said, “Today [May 25, 2026], I am donating these sewing machines, hair dryers, clippers, and other working tools to artisans across the Jomoro Municipality under the National Apprenticeship Programme.”
She added, “This long-awaited intervention brings hope and opportunity to many young artisans and apprentices, reaffirming the government’s commitment to skills development, youth empowerment, and self-employment.
By equipping beneficiaries with the necessary tools to work and earn a living, the initiative will promote job creation, strengthen local enterprise, and contribute meaningfully to the economic growth of Jomoro and Ghana at large.”
