BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Brown Gold Company Ltd was established in the year 2009 and legally with the registry department of Ghana to operate as a limited liability company but became fully operational in 2014
This organization was started to support women alleviate their hard ship and poverty by supporting their families to fend for their homes.
These women were victims of a prolonged period of idleness after a maximum of two to three months nut picking and processing. The rest of the year was a dry-impoverished period with very little farming or income generating activities. This brought them low self-esteem low confidence level conflict in the family always malnourished children and rampant abuses from men.
Brown Gold sought the opinion of a cross section of women for views as to how best they could enhance their standard of living.
