The District Chief Executive (DCE) for Ahafo Ano South West, Abubakar Sedik, has issued a heartfelt appeal to beneficiaries of the Livelihood Empowerment Against Poverty (LEAP) program. During a recent engagement with beneficiaries in Mankranso, Sedik encouraged them to invest their bi-monthly grants in petty trading and small businesses.
Sedik emphasized that the LEAP grant is not just a handout but a catalyst for economic transformation. By investing in small businesses, beneficiaries can break the cycle of poverty and improve their living standards. He urged them to be wise and strategic in their use of the grants, ensuring that they reap maximum benefits.
The DCE’s advice resonated deeply with the beneficiaries, who expressed gratitude for the program’s impact on their lives. Many shared stories of how the LEAP grant had helped them meet basic needs, send their children to school, and even start small income-generating activities.
Sedik’s call to action serves as a reminder that the LEAP program is not just about providing financial support but also about empowering beneficiaries to take charge of their economic futures. By investing in small businesses, LEAP beneficiaries can create a brighter future for themselves and their families.
As the beneficiaries left the engagement, they felt a renewed sense of purpose and determination. They knew that with the right mindset and support, they could overcome poverty and build a better life for themselves. The DCE’s words of wisdom had ignited a spark of hope, and they were eager to turn their grants into opportunities for growth and prosperity.
