The Secondhand Clothing Dealers Association has donated 520 packets of roofing sheets worth GH¢640,000 to traders at Kantamanto Market to support their recovery after a devastating fire destroyed their businesses earlier this year.
The January 2 inferno ravaged the market, consuming clothing and other goods worth millions of cedis, leaving many traders struggling to rebuild their livelihoods.
Presenting the donation, the chairman of the association, Mr Jefferey Boakye-Yiadom, expressed solidarity with the affected traders, acknowledging that many of them were key customers of secondhand clothing retailers.
He noted that the roofing sheets would help them secure the makeshift structures they had erected to restart their businesses. "More needs to be done to support all those affected by the fire outbreak.
