Member of Parliament for Ablekuma North, Ewurabena Aubynn, has extended direct support to hundreds of food vendors in the constituency, providing bags of maize to help reduce the cost pressures confronting their businesses and sustain their livelihoods.
The beneficiaries, predominantly women alongside some men engaged in food vending, included operators of kenkey businesses, chop bars and other small-scale food enterprises.
The intervention, implemented through the Awula Foundation, is aimed at providing practical support to residents whose livelihoods depend on small businesses, while easing the burden of procuring essential inputs.
At a distribution exercise held at the Official Town Market Park, beneficiaries received bags of maize, a key staple widely used by food vendors, particularly those engaged in the preparation and sale of kenkey and other local dishes.
Speaking during the exercise, Madam Aubynn reaffirmed her commitment to supporting constituents, particularly women and small-scale entrepreneurs whose daily activities contribute significantly to household incomes and the local economy.
She assured the beneficiaries that the intervention would not be a one-off exercise, stressing her determination to continue working with them and supporting their aspirations.
According to the MP, her objective is to help create conditions that enable beneficiaries to sustain their businesses, improve their livelihoods and provide better living conditions for themselves and their families.
She urged the beneficiaries to make good use of the support as they continue to build their businesses and provide for their families.
The initiative was powered by the Awula Foundation, an Ewurabena Aubynn project, with support from the Ablekuma North Municipal Assembly, bringing together community-level leadership and local institutional support to respond to the immediate needs of residents.
For many of the beneficiaries, the maize support provides direct relief by reducing the cost of inputs, offering some breathing space for food vendors working to keep their businesses running and their livelihoods secure.
