Torchbearer Skills Centre, Ndu

This project, an offspring of our project -Co-operating Out of Poverty in Ndu Sub Division, was born on February 9, 2007. This was a response to the needs of youths, especially young girls, who came to our local office in Ndu looking for jobs to stay away from idleness and associated ills. With a seed capital of 32,000 FCFA (US $64)provided by the Torchbearer CO-OP the centre started crocheting baby clothes and  traditional dresses typical of the grassland areas of Cameroon. The centre will soon expand to hairdressing, tailoring and knitting. A sewing machine, zigzag machine, hair dryer and other basic needs have already been acquired. This centre will promote youth entrepreneurship with special emphasis on youth and women. Your support will go a long way to support this centre.
