Seidu Agongo donates sewing machines to Ghanaian apprentices

Businessman and philanthropist Alhaji Seidu Agongo, in partnership with the National Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme (NEIP), has launched a nationwide initiative to distribute 10,000 sewing machines to vulnerable women and young people in Ghana.

Beneficiaries, including tailoring apprentice Hannah Ofori in the Greater Accra Region, reported that the donation addresses significant barriers to vocational training. Ofori, who previously lacked access to equipment at Happy Royal Creation in Oyarifa, noted that the machines allow apprentices to practice with greater confidence and independence.

The initiative aims to support economic empowerment by providing essential tools to those entering the garment industry.
