An Independent Parliamentary Aspirant for Obuasi West Constituency, Odeneho Appianin Ennin, has given 500 women in Obuasi GH¢1,000.00 interest free loan to expand their businesses.
The beneficiaries, according to Mr. Ennin, have five months to pay back the loan.
It is the third time such loans are being given to women in Obuasi, under the auspices of Appianin/Bonsec Fan Club.
During the presentation ceremony at the AGA Club House in Obuasi, Mr. Appianin Ennin said that the gesture is to help eradicate poverty among women in Obuasi.
According to him, when women are resourced, they would be in a better position to support the house and can also cater for the needs of their children as well.
Mr. Appianin Ennin, a businessman and a contractor, called on colleague contractors to team up with him to support the less privileged in society.
Touching on his future plans, he said, the Appianin/Bonsec Fan Club, of which he is a director, is planning to introduce the youth in Obuasi to skills training and that experts from Accra will soon arrive in Obuasi to start the Programme.
A cross-section of the beneficiaries of the loan, who talked to The Chronicle expressed their appreciation to Mr. Ennin for coming to their aid.
