The Importance of Vocational Training Programs
Founded by Ibrahim “Anyars” Salih, the Center provides vocational training in sewing for impoverished youth in Kumasi. Those who have graduated from the Salih sewing program have gained valuable workplace skills. As a result of their education, the graduates have improved the quality of their lives. One of these graduates traveled to Cameroon, married, started her family, and opened her own tailoring shop.
Presently, the Salih Self-Development Center owns two acres of land on the outskirts of Kumasi, with an installed well and a caretaker cottage. It plans to move the sewing center from its urban rented space to a planned vocational training facility which will also include vocational programs in carpentry, plumbing, welding and electrical work.
Vocational Center Status:
- Vocational Training Center: Sewing, Plumbing, Carpentry, Welding and Electrical Work
- Sewing Program Established
- Two Acres of Land Purchased
- Caretaker Cottage Constructed on Land Purchased
- Water Well Installed on Land Purchased
- Architectural Plans Drawn
