Selected orphans in Bauchi State have been trained and empowered in different skills to enable them to live a life of self-dependence even after they must have left the orphanage to live a normal life.
The selected children were trained and equipped by a UK-based non-governmental organization, Khairos Initiative from the Cornerstone Orphanage, Yelwa, Bauchi and were trained in carpentry, tailoring, make-up artists and hairdressing.
While speaking at the closing ceremony of the skill acquisition program on Sunday, Founder of the NGO, Ije McDougall, said that she was motivated to train and empower the children because of her desire to affect lives positively especially the orphaned children in order to make them self-reliant.
