Get in touch with me about:

Overall foundation, our programs, financial sponsorship, and collaborations

I was born in Kumasi and have lived there most of my life. After completing senior high school, I worked with a media production house for a year, and my interest in still and motion graphics grew. I went on to work at an internet cafe for a year and a half before doing active teaching for two and a half years.  I worked with an international volunteering organization as the assistant country coordinator for four years and eight months. During my time working with the organization, I pursued a certificate course in graphic designing, video editing, and 3D animation.  Afterward, I also studied for a diploma in photography and filmmaking and have a personal space for all my graphics and photography works. During my time working with the organization, I was able to get some projects (a nursery classroom renovation, two libraries in two different schools, an ICT lab, and classroom paintings) done for the schools I worked at and supervised all the projects. I have helped numerous kids get educational sponsorships or get their fees paid every term to help them stay in school and receive a proper education. I have helped some poor families in the community with food items most of whom I knew through my teaching years. I am very passionate about contributing to the change we want to see. This passion drove me to establish the Guide Educational Foundation which seeks to help improve the education of kids in Ghana with its numerous programs. I have also completed a certificate course in Project Management and I am almost done with the IT Support Specialist course with Google's Coursera. 

 

I now work as the Country Director for The Sunshine Volunteers Organization which is also based in Kumasi. I am an optimistic person and always full of energy. Some of my hobbies are reading, singing, dancing, photography, and designing.

With Guide Educational Foundation, I believe with my team and your support, many children across Ghana can be reached and we can contribute positively through the implementation of our programs to help their academic and social development.
