The Microfinance and Small Loans Centre (MASLOC) will offer loans to victims of the Odawna market fire which occurred on Wednesday.
The fund is to enable the women whose wares were destroyed at the Pedestrian Shopping Centre close to the Kwame Nkrumah Interchange get back to business.
Board Chairman of MASLOC, Seth Baah Acheampong made this known when a team from the Centre visited the market to assess the impact of the fire outbreak.
“We have been given a list of about 4,000 from the Municipal Assembly. We met the union leaders. We have met NADMO too and we have to get them in groups and then help the right people” he said.

Mr Acheampong assured the distraught traders of their continuous support till they get back to business.
For her part, Deputy CEO of MASLOC in charge of Operations, Abibata Shanni Mahama said they ensure due diligence in disbursing the funds.
She stressed that MASLOC has the interest of women at heart that is why about 80 per cent of the low-interest funds are given to them.
Madam Abibata Shanni Mahama promised the disbursement will be done devoid of partisan interest.
