Teaching Sustainability
Fishing sustainability is critical for ensuring the long-term health and survival of our oceans and the many communities that rely on them. At its core, sustainable fishing means using practices that allow fish populations to replenish themselves naturally, without causing irreversible harm to the environment. The GA fishermen adopted the idea and amended their fishing methods.
We Sanitized our beaches
We mobilized like-minded people and took the Akropon beach to clean every last trash we could find. The initiative was in and of itself fun as we not only picked up trash but played songs that kept our energies afloat as we spoke to the beach occupants on the cautious actions they can take to maintain the sanity of the beach.
Reading Programs for the youth
With the help of visionary Ghanaians, we were able to build a proficiency literacy program for both kids in and out of school. Hearing the kids eloquently read and express themselves brought us immense joy, so much so that we plan on taking the bold move to expand the program to 2 more cities.

Empowering Ghanaian entrepreneurs
We know how challenging it is for SMEs in Ghana to thrive, so we created the CKI program (Capital, knowledge, and Internet Possibilities). We incubated 2 Businesses Started by incredibly passionate and hard-working Ghanaians and in 6 months they 10XED their Growth in 8 Months. Today they are all voluntary giving back to the program to help other entrepreneurs just like them.
