Saffia Usiff buys and sells onions to help support her husband and 2 children. She does not have a shop but distributes onions to her customers from her home.

Ruth Akuteye opened a provisions shop when her family relocated to Kumasi to start the Garden City Christian Church which her husband Paul pastors.

Benjamin Sackey is skilled at installing and servicing air-conditioners both in residential and commercial locations. He also services air-conditioners in vehicles and refrigerators.
