Sinapi Aba Savings and Loans (SASL), Ghana, is providing its clients with 5,000 pieces each of face masks and hand sanitisers to help combat the spread of coronavirus.
SASL will be providing the materials to beneficiaries and clients who fall under their Youth Apprenticeship Programme (YAP) and the Economic Empowerment of Women through Rural Financing Programme respectively.
Under the Youth Apprenticeship Programme (YAP), vulnerable youth between the ages of 15-25 years are assisted to learn any trade of their choice over a three-year period.
With partners Opportunity International Deutschland, over 3,000 people have benefited from the programme which absorbs on all financial burdens, such as training costs, and provides graduating apprentices with start-up capital.
The Economic Empowerment of Women through Rural Financing Programme, which is run in partnership with Opportunity International - UK and with match funding from the UK government, provides vital financial services and training to women farmers in selected regions in Ghana.
Women farmers, 2800 of them, have so far benefited from the Programme which is helping to transform not only the individual farmers’ lives but their communities as well.
Presenting the items, the Chief Programs Officer of Sinapi Aba, Joyce Owusu Dabo, reiterated that Sinapi Aba will continue its mission of offering opportunities for enterprise development and income generation for the economically disadvantaged in society at all times.
This donation follows similar donations made to some health institutions and other clients of the company.
