“We have been on the field today. Please meet Ziema, a 55 year old married woman from Zukpiri and a beneficiary of the dry season gardening. She is the second of two wives. She has seven children who have all left to the towns around Ghana. She is currently living with her grand daughter found in the pictures attached. She takes care of the grand child from the gardening and have not engaged in travelling around Ghana to her relatives because of the project. She has also given over GHC200 to her son attending boarding school in Ghana’s newly created region of Savanah. Dapula says thank you to CART for the support to alleviate her condition.”
