Kumasi, Ghana - RWA Company Limited, limited liability company in the agribusiness sector, has secured funding from the Ghana Skills Development Fund (GSDF) to support its "Export Readiness Moringa Processing with People with Disabilities" project. The grant will enable the company to enhance its moringa processing capabilities by procuring a moringa tablet pressing machine and a solar dryer, while also facilitating comprehensive training programs for its workforce, the majority of whom are persons with disabilities (PWDs).
The project aims to empower PWDs and female small-scale moringa processors by equipping them with modern processing techniques and innovative technologies for moringa value addition. The training will focus on improving processing efficiency and ensuring the production of high-quality moringa products for export markets. Beneficiaries will gain hands-on experience in producing moringa powder, tablets, capsules, and moringa seed oil, utilizing state-of-the-art processing equipment.
Expressing appreciation for the support, Mr. Kelvin Danso, Project Manager for RWA Group, lauded the GSDF for investing in the growth of the company and empowering its workforce. "This grant is a game-changer for RWA Group. It will not only improve our processing capabilities but also uplift the livelihoods of persons with disabilities and small-scale female processors in the moringa value chain," he stated.
The training program is being facilitated by MESSRS OAA Consult, a reputable technical training service provider. The initiative aligns with GSDF’s commitment to enhancing industry-led skills development and fostering economic inclusivity, particularly among marginalized groups.
The beneficiaries expressed their gratitude to the GSDF, acknowledging that the training and equipment will significantly enhance their productivity, improve product quality, and boost Ghana’s moringa exports.
This initiative marks a major step towards economic empowerment, skills development, and enhanced market competitiveness in Ghana’s rapidly growing moringa industry.
