Challenge
Due to environmental constraints, the people in rural communities have very poor financial status to pay for training. Access to education and community centers with skill training are scarce in rural Ghana, and there is a need for innovative solutions to foster social impact and development in these areas.
Description
The Grassroot Hub established itself as a community hub where youths and families in rural Ghana can leverage training, consultations, and a global network. By integrating knowledge from global to local and using models like human-centered design, the hub educates and empowers locals to create their own solutions.
Outcomes
Successfully piloted several training programs and innovative workshops with local communities, ranging from junior high schoolers to professionals. Assisted in the creation of the Social Entrepreneurs Network (SE Ghana) and African Youth in Philanthropy Network. Established partnerships with multiple local and global entities, including World Economic Forum and Nexus Global.
