𝗛𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗬 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺 𝗜𝗴𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗛𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗚𝗼𝗺𝗼𝗮: 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗟𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀, 𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗝𝗼𝗯 𝗮𝘁 𝗮 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲 In the heart of Gomoa Adedantem, a community in Ghana’s Central Region, hope is being restored—one job at a time. The HAPPY Program, through its collaboration with Aglow Farms, is transforming lives and bringing dignity to households once burdened by poverty and unemployment. For Mavis Donkor, a mother of seven, life used to be a daily struggle. Feeding her children, seeking healthcare, and surviving each day came with deep uncertainty. “There were days I would cry, not knowing where the next meal would come from,” Mavis recalls. “When my child fell sick, I couldn’t even afford to take them to the hospital.” That changed when Mavis joined the HAPPY Program and began working in the packaging department of Aglow Farms, a poultry processing facility supported by the initiative. “Now, I walk into the hospital with confidence when my children fall sick,” she says with a smile. “I’ve saved money on my phone. I can take care of my children.” Beyond financial relief, Mavis has found empowerment and independence. “Aglow has changed my story. Now, I won’t let any man deceive me for money—I earn my own. I’m strong, proud, and grateful.” She isn’t alone in this transformation. In nearby Gomoa Potsin, where Aglow Farms operates, young people who once struggled to find purpose are now employed, saving, and looking ahead with hope. Lydia Tawiah, another participant of the program, shares a similar testimony: “The work has helped me in several ways. I now have enough money to start my own business,” she says. “I want to encourage my colleagues who are sitting idle at home to join the program.” These are more than stories—they are evidence of what targeted investment in youth and women can achieve. The HAPPY Program continues to be a lifeline, igniting hope and creating pathways for sustainable livelihoods. “On behalf of all the youth and mothers like me,” Mavis adds, “I thank Aglow Farms and the HAPPY Project. Keep changing lives. Keep giving hope.” #MastercardFoundation #AglowFarms #HAPPYProgram #AgriImpact

𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐅𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐡 𝐋𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬' 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝: 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐎𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐧’𝐬 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 Mardrack Ocran, a graduate of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) with a degree in Agribusiness Management, took an unexpected but rewarding path into Ghana’s greenhouse farming industry. His journey began in August 2020, when a senior colleague informed him about an opportunity to work as a farmhand at greenhouses managed by Fresh Logistics and Agri-Impact Limited. Though already a graduate, Mardrack was undeterred. “I didn’t see it as a step-down. I saw it as a step forward,” he shares. “It’s not about the degree—it’s about passion and opportunity.” At the time, Mardrack had already been researching the demand for fresh vegetables in Ghana’s markets, especially among restaurants and traders. Along with a friend, he had identified potential buyers—but lacked the means to grow the produce. So when the greenhouse opportunity came, he seized it. Despite some surprise that a university graduate would take on farmhand duties, Mardrack jumped in with enthusiasm. With training and support from management, he quickly proved himself—not just as a grower, but as someone with vision. Over time, he transitioned from working on the farm to leading in marketing and distribution. With his input, the Accra marketing team expanded from just three people to ten, and the results have been impressive. Farm-gate prices have seen strong growth. Mardrack’s journey from farmhand to key player in building a robust greenhouse value chain underscores the power of passion, training, and opportunity. Today, he’s not only helping farmers get better prices—he’s feeding Ghana with quality produce and proving that agribusiness is a space where young people can lead, innovate, and thrive. #FreshLogistics #Agriimpact #FreshVegetables

𝐀𝐠𝐫𝐢-𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐰𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐇𝐀𝐏𝐏𝐘 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦 𝐚𝐭 𝐔𝐇𝐀𝐒 𝐄𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐭 Agri-Impact Limited has brought the Harnessing Agricultural Productivity and Prosperity for Youth (HAPPY) Program to the Hohoe campus of the University of Health and Allied Sciences (UHAS), spotlighting promising career opportunities for young people in Ghana’s agricultural sector. The engagement took place during UHAS’s Entrepreneurship Summit, hosted by the Fred N. Binka School of Public Health. The event formed part of activities leading to the launch of the university’s 10-year Nkabom Project, aligned with the Mastercard Foundation’s Young Africa Works strategy. The Agri-Impact team included Sena Asare (Vegetable Production Specialist and Tomato Value Chain Lead), Godwin Akweiteh Allotey (Communication and Knowledge Management Lead), Hillary Kofi Adoboe, and Marcellina Ayele Kporheme. Mr. Asare led the presentation, detailing how the HAPPY Program is creating dignified and fulfilling employment for youth across the agricultural value chain. He encouraged students to consider entrepreneurship in agribusiness as a viable alternative to limited white-collar job opportunities. He also served as a panelist and judge during the Students’ Entrepreneurship Pitch Competition, where several teams presented innovative agribusiness ideas with strong potential for growth and impact. The HAPPY Program is a four-year initiative launched in December 2024 by the Mastercard Foundation in partnership with Agri-Impact Limited. It aims to transition 326,000 Ghanaian youth aged 15–35 into meaningful employment within the poultry, rice, tomato, and soybean value chains. So far, the program has engaged over 165,000 youth nationwide. The visit to UHAS is part of Agri-Impact’s ongoing efforts to raise awareness and inspire youth to participate in modern, profitable, and sustainable agriculture.
