“My life has changed ever since winning the Accra Mall Fashion Fund. Personally, I am more confident now and I have business skills I didn’t even know I needed, I am so grateful”, he opined.
The Marketing Manager of Accra Mall Limited, Anthony Asamoah stated: “Accra Mall Fashion Fund is here to stay, we will continue to contribute our quota to developing talented designers to understand the entrepreneurship aspect of fashion. Alfred has grown over the months of training and I know he is going to upgrade his fashion business”
When asked what he had to say to prospective applicants, Alfred urged successful applicants to get ready for a life-changing experience and to pay attention to the training process.
