Social Prophet Ventures: building capacity and co-creating sustainable solutions in low resource communities.


Our Mission:

Why we need your help:
Your donations will allow us to travel to Africa this summer to build upon previous work. We have been invited back to work with a local NGO in the villages of the Ekumfi district, Central Region of Ghana to use our experience and expertise to build capacity through experiential learning and co-create with local populations to develop sustainable solutions. One of the  organizations we will be working with is Helpers Ghana Foundation.
