EMT Foundation Graduates 41 in Vocational Skills Program

The EMT Foundation, founded by Esther Matthew Tonlagha, recently celebrated the graduation of 41 students from its vocational skill acquisition program in Effurun, Delta State. This initiative aims to combat economic hardships in Nigeria by equipping vulnerable individuals, particularly women, with practical skills in areas such as fashion design, culinary arts, and beauty services.

During the graduation ceremony, Tonlagha announced a grant of N1 million to support the beneficiaries in starting their businesses. The program is designed not only to provide certification but also to empower participants with tools for economic independence, creating a ripple effect that positively impacts their communities.

Mr. Timiebi Akuna Guwor, a speaker at the event, emphasized the importance of collaboration between government and private organizations to achieve national development.

The foundation's vision is rooted in the belief that empowering individuals with relevant skills can uplift families and communities, thereby addressing unemployment and fostering resilience.
