After the presentation Taitt told Stabroek Business that the initiative was intended to support the empowerment of young Guyanese by providing them with skills that would make them employable. He said that the group of Guyanese who had made the presentation possible were particularly attracted to the Foundation’s idea of focusing on the empowerment of single parents and other young women.
The Foundation is also promoting empowerment by providing support for skills training in other traditional small business areas.
