About Akorfa Ama Akoto
As a young girl who lived with various guardians, I found solace in the kindness and counseling of my teachers. Growing up, the school was my safe place and now, I am building SUGN to make other children like me enjoy conducive learning environments. After graduating with a first class in Sociology and Chinese, my interest in education saw me teach Mandarin Chinese at the tertiary, primary and pre-school levels. I transitioned and worked as a Chinese translator in various Chinese-owned companies in Ghana. As my interest in education increased, in 2019, I founded Spring-UP Global Network (SUGN) and have connected 42 Tertiary students and Business Professionals who have provided mentorship and career counseling for primary and Junior High School students in hard-to-reach communities. In addition to launching SUGN in 2019, I created www.littlebigissues.com, my first blog and a space where I published rarely shared stories that caused Big societal challenges. In 2020, the SUGN team pioneered the iRead iLead campaign, a 10-year strategic education campaign to nurture the reading and writing skills of children. Currently, www.springupglobalnetwork.org has renovated 2 school libraries and established 2 Reading and Writing Clubs through the iRead iLead Campaign. Writing Caribbean-focused news, culture, music, and lifestyle with Soca News and later writing African-focused stories, quizzes and helping to create fun content for children at Perbi Cubs Library Services helped sharpen my writing skill. Industries: Education, Communications, Logistics, Non-Profit Roles occupied: Teaching Assistant, Mandarin Translator and Logistics Assistant, Content Writer, Educational Content Creator, Communications Assistant Currently, I am building www.akorfaakoto.com: a website for celebrating beautiful people and places in Africa. I am also building SUGN to provide conducive learning environments for children in Ghana. I am leveraging my knowledge in development and corporate communications as a Communications Assistant at Ghana’s Education Ministry. My skills include content writing, copywriting, speech writing, writing stories for children, editing, Chinese translation and non-profit management.
