2020 Update

15 bicycles have been bought and maintained from funds raised by the sale of Volta Voices. These are used by younger head traders and by community health workers and midwives to enable them to visit outlying villages much more easily.

The bikes are hired to women head traders but loaned without fee to health workers.

2 motor tricycles have been bought to assist the women farmers with bringing crops into town to the head traders. Their maintenance and repair is paid for from hire fees.

Funds have been used to start a small loan club and hardship fund for women traders.

These projects are run by the women themselves assisted by Mafi Kumasi clinic.

2024 Update

Women head traders and farmers who attend the Mafi Kumasi community health clinic need ongoing support as carrying too heavy loads on the head causes injury and chronic health issues.
