In March, I conducted trainings in Ward 15,KSD Local Municipality area. On my 1st day in the ward, I was training in Baziya Clinic. As I arrived in the area, I noticed that theres is a very good infrastructure on site, as we started the session, participants started opening up that on that site there were a lot of projects running. Backery was fully operational with equipment, also there's sewing and poultry projects and all of them closed down because they ate the money as they were never equipped with financial skills and business mentoring.
Now, they calling me all the time asking if they can be assisted further so they can start as they have the whole infrastructure in place.
In the same ward, the ward councilor and the Chiefs in the area have given me lists with more than 200 participants whom they want them to also be trained on financial literacy as they say the numbers i did were just a drop in the ocean because they see that this training willl help resuscitate most of many failed projects in the Baziya/Ward 15 area.
