Training and empowerment of a new generation of young ICT-entrepreneurs in Sunyani, Ghana. |
Inspinest was founded in 2018 with the vision to “Inspire, nurture, empower and enable young talented Africans to explore and develop ideas, creativity, and aspirations”. The mission is to take action on the urgent call for job creation through entrepreneurship by capacitating the youth to fight the negative trend of people moving away from the Bono Region to look for jobs. In 2020 Inspinest transitioned from a social enterprise to a fully-fledged NGO, after a realization that all the activities of the association were focused on helping the local community and any income was used to offer additional free training to marginalized young people from the local community. Later in 2020, Inspinest was registered as an entrepreneur hub in the nationwide network Ghana Hubs Network, which advocates for a stronger entrepreneurial eco-system in Ghana. Throughout 2021 Inspinest trained more than 360 youths in different skills in entrepreneurship, ICT, robotics, and social media marketing, either at Inspinest's own training facilities in Sunyani or at High schools in the region. Additionally, Inspinest conducts free training workshops for the poorest and most vulnerable kids from the local Zongo’s (ghetto-areas). After transitioning to an NGO, Inspinest established a board to oversee the operations and growth of the organization, provide overall strategy, and conduct quarterly monitoring board meetings.
