“God bless you for coming to our aid. May all you do prosper so that you will continue to support us. Living in the village is difficult, especially being a single parent. The hardships are unbearable but we manage to cope so this support will go a long way to help us bounce back,” they said.

“The highest we earn from our farming activities is Thirty Ghana cedis. Our children have dropped out of school to help us on our farms because we cannot afford their transport. We struggle to feed our family so we are appealing for more support from government and other organizations. ,” they appealed.
