Seidu Haruna, has launched the second edition of his Women Empowerment Programme, aimed at providing soft loans and skills training to thousands of women in the constituency as part of a broader effort to reduce poverty and promote economic independence.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Speaking at the launch held at Subinso No. 2, Hon. Haruna explained that the initiative is a continuation of his long-term vision to uplift women, strengthen household incomes, and promote inclusive community development across Wenchi.<\/p>\n<p>The programme, being implemented in collaboration with the Microfinance and Small Loans Centre (MASLOC), will benefit over 4,000 women, each of whom will receive soft loans starting from GHS 2,000 at a minimal interest rate of one percent, payable in monthly instalments.<\/p>\n<p>According to the MP, the loans are open to all women within the Wenchi Constituency, irrespective of political affiliation, religion, or social background. \u201cThis programme is non-political. Every woman engaged in productive ventures \u2014 whether in trade, craft, or services \u2014 is eligible to apply and benefit,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Empowering Women, Transforming Communities<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hon.

He described women as \u201cthe backbone of local economies\u201d and said supporting them with access to capital and training will yield long-term socio-economic benefits for Wenchi.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWomen are naturally hardworking, and when they are given the right opportunities, they transform their families and communities. That is why this initiative is central to my development agenda for Wenchi,\u201d he told ExpressNewsGhana.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>He added that the first edition of the Women Empowerment Programme, launched during his first term in office, had already yielded remarkable results \u2014 with many beneficiaries now running successful businesses in trade, catering, and artisanal production.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-22356\" src=\"https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/MP-WENCHI-EMPOERS-WOMEN.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/MP-WENCHI-EMPOERS-WOMEN.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/MP-WENCHI-EMPOERS-WOMEN-250x250.jpg 250w, https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/MP-WENCHI-EMPOERS-WOMEN-1000x1000.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/MP-WENCHI-EMPOERS-WOMEN-120x120.jpg 120w, https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/MP-WENCHI-EMPOERS-WOMEN-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/MP-WENCHI-EMPOERS-WOMEN-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/MP-WENCHI-EMPOERS-WOMEN-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/MP-WENCHI-EMPOERS-WOMEN-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/MP-WENCHI-EMPOERS-WOMEN-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Skills Training and Entrepreneurship Support<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In addition to financial assistance, beneficiaries will undergo skills development training in areas such as:<\/p>\n<p>Pastry and baking production, Liquid soap and detergent making, Bead and craft design and Small-scale agro-processing and packaging<\/p>\n<p>These vocational programmes are designed to help women establish sustainable sources of income and move beyond dependency on subsistence trading.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe second edition of this empowerment programme is not only about providing money.
