The loan, which ranges from ₵500 cedis to ₵1000 will be interest-free. It aims to offer financial empowerment to women in the constituency.
Speaking at the launch of the Jefferson Sackey Women Empowerment Fund, Mr Sackey said, ” In my round every day, many people come to me, especially women asking for financial help to invest into their businesses, some even ask as low as ₵100.”
He added that ” after some days of thinking, l decided to set up this fund to help empower these women financially “.
The parliamentary aspirant, who is currently a Deputy Director of Communications at the Presidency has initiated several programmes within the constituency.
Some of them include the registration of NPP supporters onto the National Health Insurance Scheme and the distribution of books to schools within the constituency.
Mr Sackey will this year pick forms to contest the NPP parliamentary primaries in Ablekuma Central ahead of the 2024 elections.
