Even before the ladies made an appearance, songstress, Nana Yaa warmed the stage with a beautiful performance which received a thunderous applause.
First to make her presentation was Naa from the Greater Accra Region with her project dubbed, “Let’s always keep our girls in school.” Her intention is to embark on a massive campaign on the need to keep the girl child in school.
She also said she would use community based sessions to educate parents on the subject as well as organise workshops to educate young girls on the need to be in school. Naa called on corporate Ghana to support her to achieve her dream.
“Hiba Choose Smock” is the name of her project and Hiba from the Northern Region basically intends to promote smock and address the challenges of smock weavers in her region.
Among other things, Hiba will establish a smock village where there will be mass production of smock for both the local and international markets.
According to Hiba, some of the weavers will concentrate on the production of purses, bags and shoes.
She also intends to have a celebration of a smock festival annually to promote the brand. “With the smock, we can bring transformation to the Northern Region,” she concluded.
