HopeBank Academy

We strongly believe that HOPE is Harmony within and around us, Obedience to life principles of Love, Passion for our inner call and the Ex*****on of it. We want to be a BANK of that HOPE where less fortunate can draw tools for true success and invest in themselves. The project will be a source of education, learning and engagement. Several Initiatives are carried on under HopeBank Academy focusing on educating the mass and under favored through taking actions. We want to develop a better partnership with local private sector to grow strong financial resources to fight social issues on our beloved continent: Africa. We oversee different initiatives involving educating and learning through actions. Just to list some: Plastic 4 Money launched and tested from 2011 to 2013. Our Mind Our Body started in 2016 to work on the mindset through daily challenging workout. Our interest to leverage on agriculture to educate differently gave birth to the initiative Container 4 Hope. Container 4 Hope is a vehicle for us to achieve significant impact in agriculture with mobile gourmet restaurant. The majority of entrants and ingredients and equipment are locally produced. One social proof of the power of value chain model is testified in our Plastic 4 Money Initiative carried on successfully. This project was born from our quest to contribute to hunger alleviation, africans non informed immigration leading to human trafficking, and healthy nutrition in Africa and other developing countries. In line with this, will come the initiative WombPreneurShip 2 EntrePreneurShip which will be a continuity of Container 4 Hope project started in Sotouboua. The initiative will be a focus on helping women in targeted areas in building businesses. In Togo, we are at the testing phase of the 5 phases we will go through ( Market Research, The Testing Phase, The duplication Phase, The Capitalization Phase and Valorization Phase). It will be also tested in Cinkasse before it spread in West African coast countries and in East Africa. Sotouboua and Cinkasse have been of interest because of a high rural migration movement which lead to human trafficking with their geographical position with Benin and Togo, Burkina Faso-Togo-Ghana. The population in those areas are very poor financially and mindset wise to grow enterprises. Our vision is to be actors who will assist our local populations through value creation initiatives. The project want to be a vertical integrated project from crops to feeding millions families in the long run. The focus is on 2 crops on 125 acres in Sotouboua provided by one of the Fulbright alumnus. These are well thought selected crops use a lot in Africa and rich in nutrients. The project will create seasonal jobs for farmers, students with a strong focus on vulnerable women & girls in Africa starting from the village of Laoude middle north of Togo in Sotouboua. We are at the phase of testing the Container 4 Hope mobile gourmet restaurant. These individual initiatives and many to come will allow to feed mentally and physically thousands in the targeted areas while generating revenues for the targeted populations. Women and girls are our targeted audience with our concept WombPreneurShip 2 EntrePreneurShip. They will be trained in health, leadership and management best practices as well as streetwise marketing. The population will be trained on rural migration and human trafficking issues that are undermining potentials in Africa to create value locally. Empowering our population in streetwise entrepreneurship and leadership, real life experiences are the educational strategies of the project: Learning By Doing. We strongly believe in raising development awareness through unconventional academia, mindset power. For us poverty is a mindset issue FIRST anywhere in the world.
