The selfless young woman is said to have invested some of the proceeds her company made into the education of young underprivileged girls.

Winnie’s Women World Initiative

The initiative raises money through fish farming and uses the proceeds to invest in the education of women and simultaneously feed the Ghanain community as fish is a big part of the diet of the average Ghanaian.

Brilliant! I hope that Ms Selby has been provided, by the national development bank in Ghana and/or the public sector agency responsible for intellectual property rights, with technical assistance to protect her innovation.
