Fapem no a wɔde sii hɔ wɔ aban kwan so no sii wɔ July 27, 2022, wɔ Accra. Nhyiamfo a wofi nyansahu asoɛe ahorow a ɛwɔ Ghana no baa guasodeyɛ no ase.

Elsie Effah Kaufmann Foundation (EEKF) yɛ fapem a ɛnyɛ mfasoɔ a ɛhwehwɛ sɛ ɛbɛma STEM adesua nkyerɛkyerɛ atu mpɔn wɔ Ghana. Fapem no wɔ anidaso sɛ ɛbɛdu saa botaeɛ yi ho denam deɛ ɛbɛma asuafoɔ anya nneɛma a wɔhia ama adesua a ɛkɔ akyiri na wɔde nsa ayɛ wɔ nteɛsoɔ no ho, Elsie Effah Kaufmann Foundation (EEKF) botaeɛ ne sɛ ɛbɛhyɛ nsonsonoeɛ a ɛwɔ STEM nwomasua mu mprempren wɔ Ghana no ma. [9]

Fapem no botae titiriw ne sɛ ɛbɛsakra nyansahu ho adesua koraa afi mfiase, anaasɛ afi mfitiase gyinabea a ɛsen biara.

Bio nso, na EEKF no bɛtete nyansahu akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ ma wɔasiesie wɔn yie sɛ wɔbɛkyerɛkyerɛ asɛmti no wɔ ɔkwan a ɛbɛhyɛ asuafoɔ nkuran sɛ wɔnkɔyɛ STEM mfuo mu.[12]

'Project Alpha'[sesa]

Dwumadi yi botae ne sɛ ɛbɛma nyansahu nkyerɛkyerɛ ne adesua a ɛwɔ Ghana Sukuu ahorow mu no ayɛ ahintasɛm na wɔasan nso akamfo nyansahu a wɔde asi hɔ wɔ sukuu ahorow mu no nni dwuma na ama nyansahu nkyerɛkyerɛ ayɛ nea mfaso wɔ so kɛse.[15][16][17]

Wɔde saa adwuma yi sii hɔ sɛ "Afe biako nkɛntɛnso a nyansahu ho adesua a mfaso wɔ so nya wɔ mfitiase sukuu ahorow mu" no fã, de kaee EEK Fapem no afe a edi kan a ɛkɔɔ so wɔ Britania Bagua a ɛwɔ Accra no. Asuafo ne akyerɛkyerɛfo a wofi sukuu bɛboro ɔha mu de wɔn ho hyɛɛ nyansahu mu nnwuma a mfaso wɔ so ne nea wɔde nsa yɛ mu wɔ saa dwumadi yi mu.[18]

Elsie Effah Kaufmann a wakyerɛ ade na ɔne nyansahu mu adesuafo pii adi nkitaho wɔ mfe no mu no wɔ awerɛhyem sɛ sɛ wɔde nkyerɛkyerɛ a mfaso wɔ so kɛse bɛma asuafo fi mfitiase sukuu mu a, ɛbɛyɛ sika a eye sen biara a wɔde bɛto wɔn mu.[19]

Kaufmann si ntɛmpɛ a ɛwɔ saa nhyehyɛe yi mu so dua denam ka a ɔka sɛ, “Bere a nsakrae bɛba ne mprempren, awofo, akyerɛkyerɛfo, ne sukuu ahorow, yentumi nnye yɛn ho ntom.

Dwumadie no nam ayɔnkofa a ɛda fapem no ne Dext Technology ntam, a ɛma nyansahu mu kit no wɔ hɔ ma nhyiamu a wɔde di dwuma no. [23][24][25]

Sɛ́ adwuma yi fã no, wɔma nyansahu nhyehyɛe a ɛyɛ adwuma sɛ aduruyɛdan a wɔaka abom no ma sukuu ahorow no a edi ɔhaw a mfitiase sukuu pii hyia no ho dwuma efisɛ wonni nyansahu mu nneɛma a ɛfata.

Afei nso sɛ Project Alpha no fã no, Elsie Effah Kaufmann Foundation de mmoa a ɛfiri Dext Technology Limited hɔ ma intanɛt so atenaeɛ a wɔmfa hwee nto mu de di STEM (nyansahu, mfiridwuma, mfiridwuma, ne akontabuo) nhyehyɛeɛ akyi, asusu, na wɔahwɛ so wɔ ɔman no mu nyinaa.
