Okay. So, the project that I did in Ghana was an entrepreneur empowerment project. It was really a holistic project really, but it was a project where we actually located entrepreneurs, especially those in the rural areas of Ghana, and we partnered with the local government and the House of Teams and different stakeholders to sponsor an event where we were actually promoting entrepreneurship and what we did was that the entrepreneurs who had the opportunities to exhibit their products were there and then we also now partnered with app developers to, so this was, this app is called the Hasco app and this was an app where these entrepreneurs, after the event, could kind of login their products onto the platform and advertise them with the neighboring communities for them to have that action going on then, yeah.

So, and then also we realized that there are a lot of health challenges that have been experienced by people in this area. So, we partnered with the university, the University of the Central Cape Coast and the medical students there. We gave them the opportunity to offer free health checkups to maybe the people around, so, it was a full-on event with different booths, different sections where you could get your, what is this called, your checkup, your health checkup done and whilst still also there was that action going on. So, I think the main, what we're actually trying to do also is to help these entrepreneurs advertise their products to international markets as well. So, because of some of the products that I did see there, I was like, this is in North Africa, I love this, so I was able to pass the information to people who maybe vendors in South Africa would be able to buy from these entrepreneurs and also just coming together for people in different tax brackets. It means that people are able, maybe people who are able to afford these are able to now buy normal products and we had over 300 exhibitors, it was a huge national event, made it to the papers. We advocated for some of the challenges that we see on TV, the Ghanaian TV as well. And so, these are some of the projects that I do.

Something that stood out to me in terms of the products the entrepreneurs did would be handmade and African themed artware. Now this can be featured in handbags, clothes. I have an African woman art piece right here, I actually got it from Ghana. So, I got it from some of these local women using the different traditional products that they use and the method of weaving and stuff like that. It's really beautiful, there's a lot of beautiful art pieces that symbolize African culture and heritage. So that is what stood out to me from the products that they did and also the app itself because the app developer is an entrepreneur and just to see the innovation that you know is going on, it was really encouraging.

Yes, definitely. And this is why Tangelic is so important and the projects that Tangelic is doing is so important because without electricity, for instance, those products or with electricity, let me say that you're able to extend the maybe the day or the night, the light hours that an entrepreneur is able to have and as well as not just those who make the handcraft work, but as well as let's say the people who are cooking because a lot of this people who let's say they're baking, they can't do that when electricity is no longer there. And this is a problem and for people like me who are now working to impart them, I remember I had an interview when I was there and we were talking and all of a sudden there was no light, pitch black. And so, for me to do my work as well, there needs to be a constant supply of electricity or a source of light and this is why it's very important. And as well as the Ghana Clean Energy Entrepreneurship into Beta, because of the way that entrepreneurship in most rural communities is very informal. So, it's very important to introduce the formal aspect of entrepreneurship where an entrepreneur knows how to drive a business plan and an entrepreneur knows how to give a 30 second pitch and an entrepreneur knows how to let's say sell their product to investors, international investors. So, these are some of the skills that a lot of entrepreneurs really lack and it's really bad because a huge part of many African economies comes from the informal sector, the informal economic sector and it's really important for these people in this sector to be empowered so that they can become or they can scale their businesses as well.

Yes. So, it's very important to have this systemic approach to solving these problems because sometimes we may see or perceive, maybe the problem is X and maybe by saying, okay, so let's use XYZ solutions to solve these problems. You can actually get to the root cause of a lot of these problems. So, because also a lot of misconception can happen, especially for organizations that are not from these communities, right? So, you may think that the problem in this community is just poverty, right?

But when you maybe touch on two or three sectors, for instance, and this is why I always say that the GCEI program is particularly going to be impactful if not the one that will actually ensure sustainability of our projects because a lot of the indigenous knowledge that communities have is very important. But you get to find out that communities cling onto that knowledge and they therefore are not able to be part of the change that has happened globally.

So, when you go into these communities and you give them actual education about how to scale their businesses, instead of maybe donating, right, just donating, but actually giving them actual and actual education. For instance, in my country, in conservation, for example, there is a group of people that are known as herd boys. Now these herd boys are people who like cattle, like cows, for instance, people who are farmers who keep cows, right, those cows are cared for by people called herd boys. So, this is a cultural thing, they'll go into the, they'll go into the, what do I call a place without houses, they'll just go into the wild, the grazing land, and you know, taking off the animals, right, and so it's been experiencing a huge impact of climate change in a form of soil erosion. So, we're seeing how soil is being eroded, there are many dongas, this and that and that.

So, when a company wants to, or an organization wants to come in and solve these problems, they'll give them like maybe silos or like built, like some form of geographical infrastructure built that infrastructure, but actually understanding that the herd boys are there, and you get to find out that when animals graze on the ground for a long time, it removes the grass and by the soil being left bare for a long time, the soil is easily eroded. So, by teaching them about rotational grazing, by teaching the herd boys about rotational grazing, you're able to solve the problem of soil erosion that is happening and, you know, destroying landmarks and whatnot in the country. So, this is why maybe, you know, apart from donations and, you know, maybe, you know, actual education is very important to the communities.
