Self-produced organic care products made in Ghana
Deborah Addo lives in Kumasi, Ghana and runs the start-up Cedar Women, which develops and sells its own organic care products. Before the project started, she already had a shop where she offered hair and skin treatments with her products. The grant from WIDU enabled her to buy new equipment for the production of her organic beauty products and thus increase production. In addition, the funding has enabled her to rent her own space to manufacture her products and offer trainings for young women.
"The WIDU grant enabled my company to purchase a new industrial mixer and to fit out my production room and workspace. This allowed production to take place in a well organised environment. In the end, there was an increase in the volume of production."
"I am passionate about supporting businesses and investing in talent and skills development in Ghana, my home country."
