Atleast 1500 women from six sub-counties have completed a transformative training programme sponsored by the Kenya Industrial Estates (KIE) in partnership with the Office of the Women Representative of West Pokot.
The comprehensive training, which spanned several weeks, focused on enhancing women's skills in various sectors, including entrepreneurship, leadership, financial literacy, and agricultural practices.
Speaking at the closing ceremony in Bendera Catholic Church Parish in Kapenguria, Women's Representative Rael Aleotum praised the initiative, noting that it plays a crucial role in fostering economic independence and gender equality in the region. "This training has equipped our women with the knowledge and resources they need to create lasting change in their communities," Aleotum said.
Aleotum said the programme aimed not only to provide valuable skills but also to boost the confidence of women, enabling them to become key players in driving development within their families and local economies.
