By Mba Afa Yahaya Yakubu, Youth Chief of Nandundo, before the Installation
On behalf of the Women of Nandundo, I am honoured to read this statement. Since 2014, our mothers and sisters have witnessed real transformation through the work of SWIDA Ghana under the dedicated leadership of Hajia Sagito Alima Sa-eed.
What began with only two VSLA groups has grown into many strong and sustainable VSLAs involving hundreds of women, strengthening savings, access to credit, and household livelihoods.
The women have benefited from agribusiness training, leadership and advocacy support, and social cohesion initiatives.
Recently, the construction of energy-saving stoves and the supply of PPEs have reduced drudgery and health risks in shea butter and rice processing.
In deep appreciation of her selfless service, the women honour her as Queen of Development, Ugnati I. After the process, a pure white dove was presented as a symbol of peace, gratitude, and lasting partnership.
