Afee Africa and The Livingstone Foundation to embark on “Disability Is Not Inability” entrepreneurship workshop this Christmas

Have you ever walked past an individual with a disability begging on the street and wondered what you could do to end this cycle of poverty?

This Christmas, give the gift of knowledge and inspiration by recommending our event to anyone you know with a physical disability who would benefit from our program.

The Livingstone Foundation and African Foundation for Employability and Entrepreneurship have joined forces to bring you “Disability Is Not Inability”, an event specifically created to address the lack of opportunities given to Ghanaians with physical disabilities in terms of employment and entrepreneurship. Our program will showcase examples of individuals with disabilities who have developed their own enterprise and brand including multiple award winning Reggae Dancehall & Afrobeats artiste, Stonebwoy. We will also include a workshop to give basic training in liquid soap making (shower gel, hand wash, and dish soap), as a way to provide self-sustainability through the production of goods in high demand.

Although we cannot end poverty and street begging with just one program, we hope to inspire our participants to achieve their dreams and kick start their own micro businesses with a small kit to make their own soap products.

For just 20 GHC you can sponsor one of our attendees by donating funds to purchase an individual soap making kit. This kit will include all of the necessary materials and instructions for participants to create their own inventory and make their own income. Please consider donating to our MTN Mobile Money Account “The Livingstone Foundation” at 0548218447 and include “Soap Kit” in the reference.

If you or any one you know is living with a physical disability and would benefit from our program please call or whatsapp: +233 26 535 2211 to reserve your spot. Participants must register beforehand to ensure their attendance.

For more information or sponsorship please contact: thelivingstonefoundationgh@gmail.com or whatsapp 0548218447.
