Chief of Staff boosts Madina Chamber of Commerce with GH₵500,000 for women startups

As part of efforts to empower women and ignite grassroots entrepreneurship, Chief of Staff Julius Debrah, through his ‘Walk With Julius’ initiative, has donated GH₵500,000 as seed capital to support registered women entrepreneurs of the newly launched Madina Chamber of Commerce.

The donation was announced during the official launch of the Chamber by the Member of Parliament for the Madina Constituency, Francis Xavier Sosu, who praised the initiative as a catalyst for creating sustainable livelihoods and fostering economic independence across Ghana.

Addressing entrepreneurs and community leaders, Julius Debrah encouraged women and the youth to embrace entrepreneurship with courage and faith, emphasizing that business success is not reserved for the highly educated or formally trained.

“God didn’t bless everyone with the talent to become a doctor or a lawyer. But He gave each of us unique gifts. Some of the most successful entrepreneurs in the world were school dropouts who believed in their ideas. The most important thing is to start,” he said.

He referenced the biblical story of Moses, whose staff turned into a serpent when he obeyed God’s command, explaining that the story symbolizes the power of faith and obedience in unlocking extraordinary outcomes.

“Even if you want to start a small business like selling roasted plantain, the way you carry yourself and present your business can make all the difference,” he added.

He further assured attendees that the Madina Chamber of Commerce would serve not only as a platform for financial empowerment but also as a supportive community for entrepreneurs striving to build their dreams.
