"Empowering People at the Bottom of the Economic Pyramid: a case study in Ghana."
"As a young person who schooled in a poor village, she saw how difficult life was for women and their families and determined to help these women somehow, when she grew up. She developed a career in banking with thirteen years experience in Rural Banking and Microfinance. During her work as a Rural Banker, she worked with a lot of poor and low income clients, helping them through frustrating and difficult circumstances. This experience increased her passion for women’s empowerment. In November, 2005, she started planning for the establishment of an NGO whose purpose is to support the low income and poor women to improve their livelihoods and in May 2006, the Daasgift Quality Foundation came into being."
