Malik Basintale Supports Five Graduating Dressmakers with Sewing Machines and GH¢10,000

The Chief Executive Officer of the Youth Employment Agency (YEA), Malik Basintale, has extended financial and material support to a young woman and her four friends who are preparing to graduate as professional dressmakers at Goaso in the Ahafo Region.

The support was delivered through a delegation sent by the YEA CEO following a viral video in which the young woman emotionally recounted the challenges surrounding her educational journey and the loss of her mother.

In the widely circulated video, the young woman was seen expressing sadness over the fact that her late mother had predicted she would not live to witness her daughter’s graduation.

The emotional account attracted public attention and generated sympathy, particularly from people who were moved by the young woman’s determination to complete her training despite losing her mother.

Moved by her story, Malik Basintale reportedly directed a delegation to visit the young woman and her four colleagues to provide assistance as they prepare to complete their dressmaking programme.

The delegation presented five industrial sewing machines, GH¢10,000 in cash and other items to the five trainees.

The donation is expected to support the young women as they transition from apprenticeship training into professional dressmaking and entrepreneurship.

The provision of five industrial sewing machines is particularly significant, as access to appropriate equipment is essential for individuals seeking to establish businesses in the fashion and garment industry.

The financial assistance is also expected to help the beneficiaries address some of their immediate needs and prepare for their graduation and future professional activities.

The intervention highlights the importance of supporting young people who acquire practical and vocational skills as a means of achieving financial independence.

Dressmaking remains an important vocational trade in Ghana, providing employment opportunities for individuals who develop the necessary skills to produce clothing and offer tailoring services.

For the young woman at the centre of the viral video, the support comes at an emotional moment as she prepares to graduate without the presence of the mother who had hoped to witness the achievement.

Although her mother’s absence remains a painful reality, the assistance from the YEA CEO and other well-wishers could provide encouragement as she begins the next chapter of her life.

The gesture has also drawn attention to the role of public institutions and individuals in identifying young people facing difficult circumstances and providing support to help them achieve their goals.

With the industrial sewing machines, financial assistance and other items received, the five beneficiaries are expected to have additional resources to pursue their ambitions in the dressmaking industry.

The intervention serves as a reminder of how timely support and encouragement can make a meaningful difference in the lives of young people working towards a better future.
