Ebenezer Cobbinah, in partnership with the Mastercard Foundation and the Member of Parliament for Tarkwa-Nsuaem, Hon.

The beneficiaries, comprising both graduates and current participants of the aquaculture training programme, received essential equipment including tarpaulins, scooping nets, tents, and other tools necessary for fish farming operations.
