Featured among the array of items which were on display were Hand Sanitizers, Liquid Soaps, Floor Cleaners, Powdered Soaps, Antiseptics, Earrings, Bangles, Beaded Slippers, Shower Gels, and many more. 

The atmosphere was charged with excitement, as Senior Management and Staff from OISL joined in to celebrate the accomplishments of these dedicated and hardworking ladies. Mr. Kwame Owusu-Boateng, CEO of Opportunity International Savings and Loans Ltd. congratulated the ladies for their achievements and hard work, assuring them of the company's continual support.

He also expressed gratitude to all participants for their support. 

The results of the events were indeed impressive, as clients, staff, and the general public showed their support by purchasing the majority of the products on display. Additionally, some members of the public exchanged contacts with the ladies for potential future collaborations.
