Bauchi State Orphans and Vunerable Children Agency, (BASOVCA) has trained over 200 women in various skills to enable them to take care of their family.
Executive Chairperson of the agency, Hassana Arkila, who disclosed this during the opening of the exercise in Bauchi, said that the aim of the training was to empower the caregivers towards saving orphans and the less privileged children effectively.
According to her, the beneficiaries are the second batch selected from across the 20 local government areas, adding that 150 beneficiaries have already been trained in the first batch.
“This training is aimed at empowering the beneficiaries so that they can render care to the vulnerable and less privileged persons in the state and also acquire skills to become self-reliant. So, I hereby charge the trainers to be God fearing by providing the beneficiaries with the relevant skills.
“The agency has also received donations from concerned stakeholders in the state for distribution to orphans and vulnerable children,” she added
