The Queenmother of Ejisu, Nana Yaa Asantewaa II has divulged that her inspiration for establishing a vocational school in the Ejisu Municipality was to curb teenage pregnancy and provide the youth an ambition towards the future.

She addressed that the school is an empowerment especially to position the female gender into earning higher incomes to become responsive and better mothers in managing their personal lives and families.

“The young ladies after two or three children ends up throwing away their lives,” she said.

“Controlling teenage pregnancy has been my greatest priority since I became the queenmother hence the establishment of the school to empower ladies through dress and hair making, tie and dye, shoe making and any trade you want to acquire,” she said.
