• Afua Akoto, 70, lives with her two grandchildren in one of the most deprived villages in the Ashanti Region
• The trio lives in a dilapidated mudhouse that leaks whenever it rains
• The septuagenarian has received help in the form of foodstuffs, clothing, and new cooking utensils

A 70-year-old Ghanaian woman, Afua Akoto, who has no livelihood support, pension fund, and a monthly stipend to cushion her, has received help.

From one of the most deprived villages in the Ashanti Region, Akoto lives with her two grandchildren in a shabby mudhouse.

The Government of Ghana introduced the Livelihood Empowerment Against Poverty (LEAP) in 2018, a cash transfer programme for the extremely poor, but Akoto’s data was not captured, GBC News reported.

Daily hustle

The septuagenarian has had to resort to hustling and joggling from one job to another, doing menial jobs from dawn to dusk for their upkeep.
