Olives was able to touch the life of a 61 year old widow
Rose Denkyiraa is a 61 year old resident of New Abirem. She is the head of her household of seven sons and three daughters whose ages range between five and 22 years. Five of her children are students and three are unemployed.
For the most part of her life, all she has ever known and valued is farming to support herself and her family. When her six acre palm and orange farm at Senserefa was impacted as a result of land acquisition for mining activities, she thought her life had literally come to a standstill. With 10 children and a husband depending on her for their livelihood, it was only natural that Rose would miss her pivot of support and her first love despite the very attractive compensation package.
