Cumulatively, the programmes reached a total of eight hundred and forty-five (845) women. Seventy four percent (74%) of whom are widows. A total amount of six hundred and thirty-one thousand, four hundred and fifty cedis (GH¢631, 450.00) was disbursed to women to start and or grow their businesses. On the average these women received seven hundred and fifty Ghana cedis (GHC750.00).
In partnership with WaterAid Ghana (WAG), WOM trained 21 women from the Bongo and Kasena-Nankana West districts in liquid and bar soap production.
