The Founder
Hello, my name is Eric Boateng and I am a 16 year old Ghanaian native residing in Arizona. This project means so much more to me than just providing Ghanaian students access to financial education. This project, means providing students like myself an opportunity to have financial success in the real world. As a Ghanaian immigrant, I have seen the stark contrast in education access, especially in crucial career and technical education fields like finance. About 32% of the Ghanaian population if financially literate. Because of this, I decided to couple my passion for finance and human service to change that. I started this project in 2024, not aware of how I was going to make this project work. I navigated challenges, hundreds of cold emails amounting to nothing, and feelings of hopelessness. Although the start to my project was tough, my motivation to help my people was tougher. I did not create this project alone, and with the help of my incredible team, we made this a reality. Cheers to transforming education in Africa. - Eric Boateng

From organizational planning to distribution, their guidance has been monumental in the success of the initiative.
