A release issued to the Ghana News Agency on Tuesday in Accra it said the initiative aligned with Twellium Ghana’s mission to empower and support women, particularly those in the informal sector, who contributed immensely to the economy despite facing daily challenges.
“Through this gesture, the company not only acknowledged their hard work but also provided financial assistance to ease their burdens and improve their livelihoods.”
Mr Hussein Kesserwani, CEO of Twellium Ghana, explaining the company’s motivation behind the initiative, said the company recognised the invaluable role women played in society.
“These women work tirelessly every day under tough conditions to provide for their families and keep the economy moving,” he said.

He said the initiative also underscored Verna Water’s longstanding commitment to corporate social responsibility, with a strong focus on empowerment, sustainability, and giving back to the community.
