These women end up working as head porters, popularly known as “Kayaye.” Kaizer is hopeful that the shea butter business will be a panacea for Kayaye. This will also motivate other women to discard the idea of travelling down south for employment opportunities.
In his presentation, Kaizer courted public support to fund the project. Raphael’s presentation led the presidential candidate for the opposition All People’s Congress (APC), Hassan Ayariga, who was in attendance, to donate the first seed money to the Savanna Glow project. Mr. Ayariga also donated a total of GHS 2,000 to the cash prize for the winner.
Nana Yaw Addae-Sam emerged as the third runner-up. He earned a cash prize of GHS 3,000 and hampers from sponsors. Esinu Aku Adza, the only female contender, also came in the second runner-up position with a GHS 6,000 cash prize and some goodies from sponsors. Abraham Abudulai Ayagri took up the first runner-up slot. Abraham also walked away with a GHS 8,000 cash prize plus some goodie bags from the sponsors.
