"Dipnchips is basically my favorite food turned business. I started during the COVID-19 when I was working from home. I couldn't get good yam chips to buy, even if I did. I didn't get it like how I wanted it. So I came up with a new twist to the meal, I tried it amongst my friends. They love it, and I decided to turn it into a business," she revealed amazingly.

After just a hand full of months, Dipsnchips is already available for orders on platforms such as Bolt food, Glovo, Hubtel, as well as their Instagram handle.

Young Ghanaian lady who now runs 2 business

In another breathtaking success story, Carolina Fafanyo Ahortor, a stunning young lady who graduated from the University of Cape Coast in 2017, currently runs two fast-growing startups called CarolHandies and EdificeDecor.

Recounting her journey to YEN.com.gh, Carolina indicated that she was compelled to start doing something for herself mainly because her NSS allowance couldn't take care of all her needs.

How CarolHandies happened

I realized I was always in dept because the ¢559 salary wasn’t enough, so I felt I needed an extra source of income. I started making beaded bags, bracelets and anklets for sale. Anytime I closed from work, I would go to town to shop for materials and work on orders.
