Ghanaian media personality, entrepreneur and Convener for Women In Sustainability Africa (WiSA), Nana Yaa Serwaa Sarpong has advised women to build their capacity to make money, but must not do everything for it.
According to her, this will cater for their needs and rather than making them dependent on others.
In doing so, she advised them not to chase money, adding that it will only make them do anything for it, which will bring regrets later.
She made these remarks when speaking at the African Women’s Health and Wealth Conference (AWoHW) held on March 5, 2026, at the Shippers House in Accra.
“Women must make money but not chase it, because doing so will make them do anything and everything for money,” she said.
Also, she charged them to look at what they spend on, advising them to focus on acquiring assets rather than liabilities.
In all of these, she urged them to prioritise their health, because it is what will enable them to keep working.
Nana Yaa Serwaa also encouraged them to build more social capital, which will help them create a network and good relationships, adding that opportunities come through human beings.
According to her, savings can only be sustained when one has discipline: “If you spend beyond what you make, it would be difficult to cater for tomorrow.”
She revealed that as part of efforts to empower women, measures have been put in place to train 16,000 women in sustainable farming and very soon, it would be rolled out.
