The Chief of Staff, Julius Debrah, has donated GH¢500,000 as seed funding to support the Madina Chamber of Commerce and the “Madina Walks 4 Business” initiative, spearheaded by the Member of Parliament for the Madina Constituency, Francis-Xavier Sosu.

Speaking at the launch event on Saturday, September 20, 2025, the Chief of Staff stated that the fund would provide crucial support for individuals with viable business ideas but limited access to capital, particularly women in the Madina Constituency.

“Together with my friends who engage in health walks in my neighbourhood, we have contributed GH¢500,000 as seed money for the Honourable Member and his team to disburse to those with ideas but lack the seed capital to start their businesses,” he said.

He urged women and youth to embrace entrepreneurship with courage and faith, noting that success in business is not exclusive to the highly educated or formally trained.

“God didn’t bless everyone with the talent to become a doctor or a lawyer. But He gave each of us unique gifts. Some of the most successful entrepreneurs in the world were school dropouts who believed in their ideas. The most important thing is to start,” he said.

The Chief of Staff likened business to a seed: with the right care, persistence, and determination, it can grow into something significant.

“Since we were created in God’s image, we are, in a way, creators in our own right. With prayer, hard work, and goodwill, whatever you commit to will yield positive results,” he noted.

Julius Debrah assured attendees that the Madina Chamber of Commerce would not only serve as a platform for financial empowerment but also as a supportive community for entrepreneurs striving to build their dreams.
