Support a New Generation of Changemakers in Ghana

Dear esteemed donors,

Our work through the Changemaker Program is built on a simple yet powerful belief: when young people are provided with consistent mentorship, real-world exposure, and opportunities to lead, they will rise to meet the moment—and shape the future.

This year, we’ve seen this belief come to life again and again. From academic goal-setting and career research to hands-on STEM exploration and student-led presentations, our scholars continue to step into their potential with confidence.

These programs are not just about academic enrichment. They are about cultivating agency, strengthening identity, and inspiring a generation of leaders who understand their value and capacity to make an impact—locally and globally.

Thanks to your continued support, our students benefit from consistent mentorship and enriching experiences that support both their academic and personal growth.  Whether it’s introducing goal-setting to a primary student, guiding a secondary student in planning their path to university, or watching an alumnus prepare for graduate school while mentoring the next generation, the ripple effects of your generosity are powerful and far-reaching."

Each achievement—big or small—is part of a greater story of transformation, community, and hope. We thank you for being a supporter of the Changemaker programming!

Dear Valued Donors,

For this project update, we’re excited to share details about two impactful sessions happening this weekend. These events will equip our students and alumni with essential personal and professional growth skills—key pillars of our Changemaker Programming.

We are honored to feature Amma Aboagye, a seasoned social development expert with over 15 years of experience in strategy, policy, and communications across multiple sectors. A graduate of Cornell, Columbia, and the London School of Economics, she has held diverse roles, from teaching to shaping education policy. In her current role as Senior Learning and Partnerships Advisor at USAID, she fosters collaboration and adaptive learning across West Africa. Amma’s insights and lived personal and professional experiences will provide our students and alumni with practical tools to build resilience, set meaningful goals, and drive lasting impact.

Building Resilience & Growth Mindset

In our first session, Amma will guide alumni through strategies to develop a positive mindset, manage setbacks, and cultivate resilience. By exploring self-awareness, overcoming negative self-talk, and reframing limiting beliefs, students will create personalized action plans to turn challenges into opportunities.

Turning Vision into Action

The second session will focus on helping students transform visionary ideas into tangible results. Amma will concentrate on setting meaningful goals, developing execution roadmaps, and leveraging GEC’s support network. Students will leave with clear strategies to overcome obstacles and track their progress toward success.

Why This Matters

These programs directly contribute to our Changemaker Programming, which empowers students to become future leaders in their communities. By fostering resilience, strategic thinking, and goal-setting skills, we equip young changemakers with the tools they need to drive meaningful impact in Ghana and beyond.

Your generosity makes this impactful programming possible, providing our students with invaluable opportunities for personal, educational, and professional growth. Thank you for your continued support of the next generation of leaders!
