Thrive Works Ghana

We are an NGO located in Sunyani, Bono Region-Ghana, which focuses on fostering a mindset and attitude geared towards value creation and service to others. We do this by facilitating
various apprenticeship and mentorship trainings, as well as providing basic entrepreneurship
education to at-risk youth, ages 15 to 25 years.

Background

Driven by a profound belief in the untapped potential of the youth in our communities and a deep awareness of the limited opportunities available in certain regions, our journey at ThriveWorks Ghana is deeply rooted in the stark realization of wasted potential and overlooked capabilities among the younger generation. In 2022, Africa held the distinction of being the world's youngest continent, where a remarkable 4 out of every 10 individuals were 15 years old or younger. This statistic is not just a number; it's a chorus of untapped potential yearning for a chance to shine. However, within this promise lies a pressing issue - the challenge of youth unemployment.

Ghana, like its African peers, grapples with the daunting task of providing meaningful opportunities to its youth. While official statistics might suggest progress, the reality is far more complex. Many young Ghanaians are left without a secure path forward, facing a future laden with uncertainty.

At ThriveWorks Ghana, we exist because we believe in the extraordinary potential of Ghana's youth. We see beyond the statistics and delve into the stories of the young souls seeking purpose and dignity. Guided by an Afrocentric framework rooted in communalism and collectivism, we acknowledge the profound role of faith as a coping mechanism for individuals with African origins.

Vision

To create a capable, credible, and thriving community where everyone has the opportunity to achieve their full potential and be valuable contributors to society.
