The African Training & Management Services supported project, Women World Banking Ghana (WWBG), has been acknowledged with a citation at the 10th anniversary edition of the National Banking Awards held on 13 August 2011 at the Movenpick Hotel Accra, Ghana. This was in recognition of their exceptional contribution to the empowerment of women.
WWBG is a savings and loans institution dedicated to providing financial products to women. Currently women constitute 68% of the institutions’ loan clients of 5,300, and 63% of savings clients of 77,538. This clearly reflects the institution’s vision statement which states that:
We shall be the leading providers of world class, sustainable financial services to micro entrepreneurs, particularly women, in the markets we serve.
The ATMS/AMSCO management support strategies are currently being implemented to grow the company into a first class micro finance institution and to continue to work hard towards the Millennium Development Goal promoting gender equality and the empowerment of women.
