Mp For Salaga South Supports 400 Vulnerable Women With Fertilizers

The Member of Parliament for the Salaga South Constituency, Hon. Zuwera Mohammed Ibrahimiah, in collaboration with the Sisters of JDM Foundation, has extended support to 400 vulnerable women across the constituency through the donation of fertilizers.

Speaking to the media, Hon. Zuwera Mohammed Ibrahimiah explained that the initiative was aimed at supporting vulnerable persons, particularly women.

She said the organization identified the need for farming inputs during engagements with women in the constituency, who appealed for assistance in the form of fertilizers.

In response, 400 bags of fertilizer were donated to widows, single mothers, divorced women, and other vulnerable women selected from all corners of the constituency.

She noted that the excitement and appreciation expressed by the beneficiaries demonstrated how meaningful the intervention was, as it would greatly enhance their farming activities.

The women are largely engaged in the cultivation of crops such as agushie, watermelon, and other vegetables.

According to the MP, vegetable farming is critical to ensuring that children have access to nutritious food.

She emphasized that supporting women in agriculture not only improves household nutrition but also enables them to engage in income-generating activities.

She explained that after meeting household consumption needs, surplus produce is sold at the market to earn income that supplements family earnings.

Hon. Zuwera Mohammed Ibrahimiah further stated that plans are underway to strengthen collaboration with the Sisters of JDM Foundation and the Women Empowerment Foundation of the Salaga South Constituency to make the initiative a regular activity.

She added that future interventions may go beyond fertilizer donations to include cash assistance, farming tools, clothing, boots, food items, and seed capital for trading activities.

According to her, empowering women contributes to stable homes and improved living conditions for children.

“When women are empowered, the entire family benefits.

Whatever support women receive is taken back home to ensure peace, stability, and comfort within the household,” she said, reaffirming her commitment to actively supporting women’s empowerment in the constituency.
