The Youth Entrepreneurial Center in Ohiaba Community is a groundbreaking initiative aimed at empowering the next generation of young food entrepreneurs. Inspired by the success of the Buyers Edge Farming Culinary & Entrepreneurial Center in Ghana, this project is driven by a shared vision of fostering economic growth, innovation, and community development. With the generous support of the Davie Family Foundation, the project is poised to make a significant impact on the lives of aspiring entrepreneurs and the broader community.
The project commenced with the strategic acquisition of land in Ohiaba Community, laying the groundwork for the establishment of the Youth Entrepreneurial Center. This pivotal step, made possible through the support of the Davie Family Foundation, marks the inception of a transformative journey towards empowering local youth and addressing societal challenges.
Drawing inspiration from the mission of the Buyers Edge center, the Youth Entrepreneurial Center aims to bridge the gap between local talent and global expertise in the food industry. By leveraging technology, fostering innovation, and providing mentorship, the center seeks to equip young entrepreneurs with the tools and skills needed to thrive in the competitive food market. The ultimate goal is to foster economic growth, stimulate innovation, and contribute to the fight against food insecurity by ensuring that ventures emerging from the center play a vital role in feeding the hungry, both locally and beyond.
The Youth Entrepreneurial Center will serve as a hub of innovation and collaboration, offering training, mentorship, and resources to aspiring food entrepreneurs. Through workshops, seminars, and hands-on experiences, participants will gain valuable insights into various aspects of food production, culinary arts, business management, and market dynamics. The center will facilitate networking opportunities, connecting entrepreneurs with industry experts, investors, and potential collaborators, thereby fostering a supportive ecosystem for growth and success.
Impact: The establishment of the Youth Entrepreneurial Center represents more than just a physical infrastructure; it signifies a commitment to creating sustainable pathways to prosperity and opportunity for the youth of Ohiaba Community. By empowering young entrepreneurs to create viable and impactful food businesses, the center will contribute to job creation, income generation, and community development. Moreover, by addressing food insecurity through innovative ventures, the center will make a tangible difference in the lives of those most in need, fulfilling the mission of the Davie Family Foundation to drive positive change and social impact.
