“Multiple streams of income is no longer a luxury, it is a necessity”
– Kelly Roach
Ayamga Atampoka is a fifty-eight (58) year-old widow with six (6) dependants. She stays at Zaare in the Bolgatanga Municipality of the Upper East Region. Atamporka’s sole income source was from selling rice grains.
According to her, this made it very difficult for her to meet the needs of her family. Educational and Hospital bills as well as feeding the family was a daunting task.
Her extended family members introduced her to the baobab seed aggregation business that was run by WOM, under the organisation’s social enterprise-Atarrah Ghana Limited (AGL) in 2018 and she has since been an aggregator.
“I used the additional income I get from the baobab seed aggregation to start producing Dawadawa (a local spice). My new business is growing and I now look forward to the market days because sales is good.
– Ayamga Atampoka
My profits have doubled for each market day. Life is becoming much more bearable now. I no longer spend many sleepless nights wondering how am going to pay for the hospital bills or feed my family.
The baobab aggregation business has made this possible and I am grateful to WOM-AGL for giving me the opportunity to grow my income sources.”
