DECO’s Support Brings Relief to a Struggling Vendor: Empowering Lives and Advancing Sustainable Development

Mrs. Nyarko Achampon, a resilient vendor at Tafo New Road- Kumasi, selling roasted yams and maize, faced daily struggles due to the scorching sun and unpredictable rains. Her small business, which provided the only source of income for her family, was constantly at risk due to bad weather, lost sales, discomfort, and serious health concerns. However, she remained determined to earn an honest living
IDECO, committed to community welfare and economic empowerment, stepped in to support her by providing a durable umbrella, essential food items, and household supplies. This was more than just a donation; it was a lifeline that restored her dignity, improved her working conditions, and offered her renewed hope
The sturdy umbrella became a shield against the rain and scorching heat, allowing her to continue working in comfort and safety. The groceries, including rice, tomatoes, detergent, and oil, provided much-needed relief from financial strain, allowing her to focus on her work without the worry of securing daily necessities

IDECO's support not only enhanced Mrs. Nyarko's working conditions but also had a huge effect on her overall well-being and economic stability. With protection from harsh weather, she could now operate her stall consistently, leading to a more predictable and sustainable income. The provision of essential groceries alleviated immediate financial stress, allowing her to reinvest in her business and plan for the future

IDECO's support aligns with several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs1,2,8, & 10), reinforcing its commitment to empowering individuals, reducing poverty, and fostering economic resilience.

By partnering with IDECO, donors, organizations, and individuals can make a lasting impact, empowering many more small-scale vendors to achieve stability and success.
