Sierra Leone's Only Female Carpenter Zainab Kargbo Bags Nomination For The Top 30 Most Influential Women
Young and beautiful Zainab Kargbo the only female carpenter in Sierra Leone has bagged a nomination for the top 30 most influential women in Western Rural Area.
Zainab Kargbo is a graduate with a sound degree from the Institute of Public Administration and Management (IPAM). Immediately after graduation, Zainab wrote over 100 job applications but non never reached out to her.
In the process, Zainab came across a video on Youtube on how to make tufted beds, there she started learning the skill. For Zainab, succeeding in men dominated industry is entirely difficult she will seldom undergo gender discrimination and numerous of stumble blocks. Zainab stood her ground until she finally succeeded and founded Zeekay Woodworks a woodwork company that trains and works with vulnerable girls who want to take carpentry as a profession.
Like few brave women that take such risks and zeal to embark on such a difficult job, Zainab took the path of carpentry – making tufted beds she has created employment and training ground for vulnerable girls.
