Konlan Namleeb presenting the items to beneficiaries in Nakpanduri
Yennutoona Foundation-Ghana, a non-profit organisation, has extended its support to vulnerable individuals in the Bunkpurugu-Nakpanduri district of the North East Region.
The beneficiaries include people with physical disabilities, the visually impaired, widows, elderly women, orphans, and others in need within the district.
The beneficiaries received bags of maize, clothing, and various food items.
Additionally, over 60 women’s groups were provided with cash grants to help expand their businesses.
In an interview with DAILY GUIDE during a brief ceremony, the Chief Executive Officer of Yennutoona Foundation-Ghana, Konlan Namleeb, indicated that during the lean season, many rural communities in the district face food shortages, prompting him to support those in need.
According to him, the foundation has also provided cashew and shea nut seedlings to 60 women’s groups, enabling them to engage in farming and support their families.
“These seedlings will economically empower the women, allowing them to pay their children’s school fees and fulfil other family responsibilities,” he stated.
Mr. Namleeb revealed that Yennutoona Foundation-Ghana plans to train artisans in the district, equipping them with vocational skills to create sustainable livelihoods for themselves and their families.
He urged the government and other institutions to develop policies that positively impact vulnerable individuals in rural communities across the country.
