Presenting the items to beneficiaries from Odumasi, Obrachire and Akropong, Madam Nora Ollennu, Chief Executive Officer of the Organisation said the clothing were to help the women in their farming activities.

According to Madam Ollennu, the Adventist Development and Relief Agency, ADRA-Ghana donated the materials upon request by the NGO.
She said the NGO that had been engaged in women's empowerment and HIV/AIDS campaign and stressed that AIDS was real, urging the youth to be mindful of their sexual behaviour to avoid contracting the pandemic.
