Local news – 03.07.2012 - by Zacheaus Otaba -Youths to form groups in the county to access loans

The Diocesan Youth Empowerment Programme is conducting a three day training to the youth of Nakwamekwi parish, in the risen Christ church hall.

The constituency youth officer in charge of Turkana south John Kalale, who was one of the facilitators said that it is better for youth to be trained on business skills before given access to loans from the youth office. Some of the area touched is new constitution and elections, entrepreneurship, the art of communication and procedures of forming a group.

The workshop which brings together more than 47 youth from all over the parish, is aiming at empowering the youth on group formation in order to earn a source of income, since there is scarce employment.

The training which started yesterday, will be ending tomorrow.
