Empowering unemployed women in society

Empowering women to reduce unemployment.

The Pimville Community Centre (PCC) now has a new workshop called National African Skills Development founded by Beatrice Magwere and Glory Pooe.

The purpose of the workshop is to empower unemployed women since a high rate of unemployment among women is one of the tremendous issues in our community.

The workshop also helps women expand and recreate what it is they can do to accomplish because they were previously denied in showing off their skills and hidden talents.



The workshop also helps women to earn a living in a sense of creating female entrepreneurs and creating jobs to reduce poverty. Their target market is women of all ages in surrounding areas.

A registration fee is required in order for them to purchase material to utilise it to create their handmade goods such as sinamay hats, macrame bags, jewellery, bead bags, clutch bags and covering shoes using material they have.

Material purchasing depends on a number of people because they split them into a group of 10-15. They open on weekdays from 10 am until 4 pm.



“One of the main reasons for me to do this is to assist unemployed women who have the skills of being artistic, for them to be self-employed and being able to start generating their own income,” said Magwere the co-founder of the workshop.

We hope that in God’s grace our project will expand and be on another level,” she added.

Magwere accomplished her training in Ghana and later formed a various number of workshops for women who needed her assistance.

“I reckoned how most women were refrained from showing off their hidden talent and most, fortunately, they have plenty of it,” Magwere.
