As part of the “digitalisation initiative” for women vendors, The Entrepreneurs Associates (tEA) under the “Uplifting Women Street Vendors program” distributed QR codes to 26 women street vendors at Sokhriezie Market, Wednesday.
A press release by tEA stated that the objective was to connect with the women in their workstations and make the program an integral part of their work life. Speaking to the audience, tEA’s Operations Supervisor, Chunjanglu Gracy emphasised tEA’s commitment to empower women vendors across the state and beyond, sharing that the QR code stands were being provided to simplify transactions for women street vendors and include them in the digitalisation process.
The women street vendors who received QR codes were from various locations, including Officers Hill, Red Cross, Upper Chandmari, South Police Market, Red Cross, South Point Market, New Ministers Hill, PR Hill, Bamboo Market, and Sokhrieze Market. Earlier, the brief programme began with invocation by Evangelist Shetoli Swu, from Cross Wonder Church.
