HO — Volta Regional Women Organiser hopeful, Edna Abri, Esq., has put a dedicated Volta Women Revolving Fund at the centre of her campaign for women in the Volta Region.
Her motto is WITH EDNA, EVERY WOMAN MATTERS and she is Number 2 on the ballot in the Volta NDC Regional Executive elections slated for November 14-15, 2026.
Speaking in a televised interview with Ewenyigba TV’s Tony Mark-Boye on Wednesday, 22nd October, 2026, Edna Abri said her main goal is Women Empowerment for Self-Sufficiency.
“If our women are economically self-sufficient through skills training, small business support and sustainable livelihoods, the NDC women’s wing becomes stronger,” she stated.
WHAT IS THE FUND?
The Volta Women Revolving Fund, as proposed by Edna Abri, is a dedicated fund to support women in the informal sector — market women, traders, hairdressers, seamstresses, food vendors, farmers and artisans — who struggle to access bank loans.
The Volta Women Revolving Fund, as proposed by Edna Abri, is a dedicated fund to support women in the informal sector — market women, traders, hairdressers, seamstresses, food vendors, farmers and artisans — who struggle to access bank loans.
In a revolving fund, money given out as a soft loan is repaid, then lent again to another woman. The same capital keeps working — it does not end with one beneficiary. That is the “revolving” idea: repay, re-lend, repeat.
Edna Abri says she will lobby for the fund to be established — meaning it is a proposal she will push for if elected, not a fund that has already been launched with a stated amount.
Alongside the fund, she promises Financial Literacy Training for Women — so beneficiaries can keep records, price their goods, save, and repay on time — plus a Regional Women’s Welfare Desk to cater for the welfare and wellbeing of women.
Her wider results-driven agenda also includes the TEIN WOCOM Constituency Transition Program, Young Women in Leadership, and unifying the rank and file to be a “Mother For All.”
💬 Howedey Insight: The promise is clear. The test will be the details voters should now demand — how much seed capital, who qualifies, what interest, who manages it, and how repayment will be enforced so the fund truly revolves.
