Ashesi University | Accra, Ghana | Advancing SDG 4 & UNAI 3
" A sincere passion for change, coupled with past experiences, drive my quest to make an impact wherever I can. The Millennium Fellowship provides me access to a group of like minded individuals and interactions to better my ideas, bolster my communication and design thinking capabilities, and strengthen my values while working with communities I hope to transform in the future. I am excited to learn and apply all the knowledge I gain from the Fellowship about the SDGs to my projects. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Code4All Initiative
Code4All is a community geared initiative I co-founded with five other Ashesi University students that seek to bring ICT and programming skills to students of underrepresented and underprivileged communities in Ghana. The project empowers young students aged between 10 and 15 years with ICT, programming skills, and soft skills. Using our recently acquired laptops, students will not just be equipped with ICT skills. They will develop a passion for computing and software development, which could move them to pursue a career in STEM-related fields.
