Literacy in Northern Ghana

What an inspiring moment at the studios of GHOne TV as we shared the journey of the Literacy in Northern Ghana (LING) on how our EdTech solution is transforming learning opportunities for underserved learners across Northern Ghana through the Mastercard Foundation EdTech Fellowship.

It was a privilege to be in the studio alongside a co-fellow Portia, Head of Product at Minex, engaging in meaningful conversations around innovation, inclusion, and the future of education in Ghana and Africa. The energy, insights, and shared passion for impact made the experience truly invigorating.

We remain deeply grateful to MEST Africa and the Mastercard Foundation for this incredible honor and opportunity to amplify our mission of bridging educational inequality through technology.

This is only the beginning , the future of inclusive STEM and digital learning in Northern Ghana is bright. 🚀 MEST Africa Mastercard Foundation Team4Tech KDSL Global
