    We have been giving lending/credit facilities for about 3,000 vulnerable women towards the sustainability of their fishing selling businesses towards the improvement of their standard of living.

    What is expected for these vulnerable women is to benefit from financial management training workshop and have approached the incubator section of the School of Business School, University of Cape Coast, Ghana who who have agreed to offer the training but for lack of Sponsorship.

    We hope that, the realization of the financial management training would help alleviate the poverty livelihood of these vulnerable fishing women to improve on their businesses and that would witness a growth in the sustainability of their families.

    We would therefore be grateful if your organization would assist with this request.
