Swiss Ambassador to Ghana Ms. Simone Giger gave major props to Muslim Women In Teaching for helping young girls through skills training. MUSWIT trains women across the country with limited cash but massive impact. The female Muslim teacher group runs free programs teaching fashion design, computer skills, plus soap making.
During her Accra facility tour, Ambassador Giger bought several items, including a fashion umbrella that caught her eye. The apprentices asked for more sewing supplies since many students quit because they lack materials. MUSWIT President Hajia Amina-Deen Ibrahim explained that they formed to stop early marriage, school leaving, and community laziness. They especially help girls who cannot afford higher education.
The organization faces money troubles despite the Turkish Embassy's support with sewing machines. They need cash for outside trainers plus electricity bills from industrial equipment. Ibrahim called on government aid through the National Apprenticeship Program to cover transportation costs for students. The free training asks only that students find their way to class each day.
