Anglogold Iduapriem Mine proposes partnership with Tarkwa Prisons Service to sew workers' attire
AngloGold Ashanti Iduapriem Mine has called for partnership with the Tarkwa Prisons Service to produce working attire worn by the mine's employees, following the mine's donation of sewing machines and other furniture to the Tarkwa Prison service.
The mine's Director General, Daniel Boadi, made the commitment while presenting the items, saying the equipment could support the prison service's sewing activities and create an opportunity for the two institutions to work together in reforming inmates. According to him, the evidence of entrepreneurial skills inculcated into inmates can be brought to light with the support by the mine.
The piloting aligns with the Government of Ghana’s prison 360 initiative, which focuses on holistic reformation, rehabilitation and reintegration of inmates. This could also offer prisoners practical experience in garment-making.
Mr. Boadi added that, the contribution to the think 360 prison enhances on the long-standing partnership with Tarkwa local prison which includes the establishment of infirmary, installing ceiling fans, re-roofing and wiring the prisons facility and providing medical outreach. He said that by investing in human capital within the various correctional institutions, sustainability development and social advancement is actively driven.
He urged that inmates seize the opportunity and reintegrate into the society with a complete productive future.
