Paul Danquah, cochair of the Learn Ghana Foundation fundraising committee, carries in his heart the story of countless young dreamers. Born and raised in Bamiri in the Techiman Municipality, he grew up in a community where the promise of education was often dimmed by financial hardship. He watched friends, neighbors, and even classmates slip through the cracks—not for lack of ability, but for lack of opportunity. These early experiences planted in him a lifelong conviction: that every child deserves a fair chance to rise.

Shaped by these realities and strengthened by his own struggles, Paul has devoted himself to ensuring that the next generation does not face the same barriers. His gentle spirit, deep compassion, and unwavering commitment flow naturally from his Catholic faith. As a husband and father of two vibrant boys, he understands, in the most personal way, the priceless value of nurturing the young and safeguarding their future.

Paul’s academic training spans the University College of Entrepreneurship in Accra and the Don Bosco Technical Institute in Sunyani. In the winter of 2024, he further broadened his skills and global exposure through an intensive workshop in Germany—an experience that enriched both his professional insight and his passion for youth empowerment.

For nearly three decades, Paul has served with dedication at the Don Bosco Productions Unit in Dumasi, while also offering hands-on guidance as a practical instructor at the Don Bosco Technical Institute in Sunyani. His time with Scan Style Limited (MTN) in Mim, now in the Ahafo region of Ghana further expanded his understanding of Ghana’s technical and vocational landscape. Across all these roles, one truth has remained clear to him: brilliant students from low-income backgrounds need champions—people who will believe in them, stand with them, and open doors.

Beyond his professional commitments, Paul embodies the joy of everyday Ghanaian life. He loves singing, volleyball, and soccer—the heartbeat of the nation. Yet even in his leisure, his focus never strays far from the young people who remind him of where he began and why he serves.

Paul Danquah stands today as both witness and advocate—a man whose life echoes the hope he now works tirelessly to give to others.
