Aspire for Gold Foundation is a non-profit organisation dedicated to multifaceted social development through mindset transformation. Our principal activities include youth development, STEM education sensitisation, financial empowerment, sexual and reproductive health rights education, digital skills development and climate change mitigation.
Through these initiatives, we aim to create a world where every youth, regardless of their geographical location, has equal opportunity to thrive and reach their full potential, by equipping them with the tools, knowledge and confidence to lead and contribute positively to their community and the world at large.
Founded in 2022, Aspire for Gold Foundation is dedicated to strengthening youth, particularly those in underserved rural communities, through education, advocacy and innovation.
Most parents and caregivers use their children as cheap labour on their farms, and as a result discourage their wards from attending school. In other cases, female teenagers drop out of school due to financial constraints and end up pregnant. The very few fortunate enough to receive formal education often have no idea what course or career path to pursue.
Each programme equips young people with the tools, knowledge and confidence to lead and contribute to their communities.
Through our career and mentorship programmes, a significant number of female students have continued their education to secondary institutions, pursuing courses aligned with their future goals and aspirations.
April and October 2024: donated mathematical sets to final year students.
Through our routine STEM sensitisation initiative, an increased number of girls desire to pursue STEM careers. We provide them with the mentors and support needed to excel in these fields and break gender stereotypes.
Students have been equipped with essential entrepreneurial skills, enabling them to financially support their education and develop a mindset for innovation and self-sufficiency.
March 2023: with Julls Cakes and Décor, we trained 60 basic school students in pastry making, local drink and liquid soap production.
During our routine visits to basic schools, the health professionals among us educate students on their sexual and reproductive health rights. Our health advocacy has improved awareness and increased access to reproductive health services among young women.
"Menstruation should never be a barrier to a woman or girl reaching her full potential."
Menstrual Hygiene Day, May 2024: under the theme #PeriodFriendlyWorld, we visited Dzogadzi R/C Basic School and Lume Avete Basic School in Akatsi with Yormme Call Foundation. Miss Catherine Vivian Sokpe, a Registered General Nurse of Akatsi Municipal Hospital, taught JHS girls effective menstrual hygiene practices and demystified myths about menstruation. We crowned the day by donating menstrual pads to them.
Many female students have gained proficiency in using digital tools like Canva to design flyers and edit videos, enhancing their technical and creative skills.
June 2023: with Cimons Technologies, we organised a workshop to train high school students in basic digital skills.
Akatsi Senior High Technical School: we spoke to students to introduce them to the vast world of technology and give them a glimpse into the exciting field of web development, so they have the skills to thrive in this digital age.
Climate change mitigation is one of our principal activities and part of our vision to contribute towards SDG 13, climate action.
What we have done since 2022, and what has changed for the young people we serve.
