Founders’ Story

Lead For Ghana (LFG) was established by four founders with unique personal stories and a shared vision to improve education in Ghana. Daniel Dotse, who experienced the challenges faced by underserved children in Ghana, returned from the United States with a determination to provide quality education for all. Sadik Antwi Boampong recognized the shortcomings in Ghana's education system and joined forces with Daniel to address these issues. Carolina Ramirez, with her teaching experience in the United States, saw the global need for quality education and believed in LFG's potential to make a difference. Abdul Razak Musah, inspired by his own teaching experience, brought his expertise in education policy and management to LFG. Since its establishment in 2013, LFG has recruited and trained over 500 young leaders to teach in underserved schools in Ghana. These dedicated fellows have worked in challenging environments, improving education outcomes despite limited resources and difficult circumstances. LFG's founders remain actively involved in the organization, committed to their mission of promoting quality education as a fundamental right for all children in Ghana. The stories of LFG's founders highlight the belief that education can transform lives and communities. They demonstrate that with the right resources and support, young people can achieve great things. Through their collective efforts, LFG strives to create lasting change and empower the youth of Ghana to build a brighter future.
