Trainathon training for seven women in Bamenda, Cameroon
For several years now I have been
working hard to get the women and girls with
disabilities with whom I work digitally empowered so they can be able to access
online opportunities safely. This has had a considerable positive impact on
their livelihood. So, when the opportunity showed up to be trained as a
trainaton facilitator I thought it was amazing. The best part of it was the
award of a certificate after the training which is valid every and anywhere.
I was excited to be able to
replicate this training to seven women in my community. They were very excited
when I told them my testimony on how world Pulse have impacted my life and my
community indirectly and the numerous opportunities, I have had just by connecting
online.
The Event was an in-person event
because of the acute connectivity problem we are experiencing in Bamenda. Through
this event I was able to get five women enrolled and two world Pulse sister who
have not been active on the platform for a very long while log into their
accounts.
The pass two weeks we have
experience lots of lock down in Bamenda called up by the non-state armed groups
and so our plan to hold other trainatons was disrupted. But now that we are a little
stable, I plan to train deaf women and will be updating along as I carry out
the trainings.
Thank you so much world pulse for
such an amazing opportunity.
