Taimako's Journey
Inspiration comes in many forms, the experiences people face greatly influences their perspectives and approaches in life. The Taimako Foundation is no exception to this. The ability to sympathize and empathize with others is one that is greatly underestimated. Our founder through years of experience channeled into these emotions and harnessed them to spark the idea of Taimako.
The expression ‘Taimako’ is derived from Hausa which literally translates to the giving of alms. The name was selected to represent a rich African culture with deep seated roots in Ghana. We aspire to embody this heritage in our hope of pursuing our collective destiny by having one foot in the past and the other in the present. Taimako Foundation through the years, has metamorphosed into a beacon of hope for underprivileged and marginalized communities in Sub-Saharan Africa, bringing them opportunities and avenues that prior were never before conceived. The idea is to integrate rural communities into the fold of the national community, offering them a seat at the table in matters related to development and social inclusion. The opportunity to give to those who are not fortunate to have is core to what we believe in and the image we want to portray. At this juncture, it is worth noting that not every entity or individual has the capacity to reach out in efforts to help, and as such, the need for Taimako to evolve with the times and identify other approaches certifying our relevance for the present and future. The targeting of certain core areas give our work a tunnel vision, helping us to prioritize which areas require our attention. In ensuring that our community outreach attempts are impactful our efforts have targeted agriculture, renewable energy, financial inclusion, behavioral impact and water to direct our projects and interventions. We are certain that the interventions directed in these focus areas will reap benefits in ensuring inclusion of rural communities in present day Ghana.
In satisfying our insatiable hunger for impactful change, we have joined hands with other business and non-business entities with a presence in our focus areas in ensuring that we can leave our mark on the sector. These entities will provide guidance, and the much-needed assistance in maneuvering a tricky sector. Together we are certain we can bring impactful change to as many underprivileged rural communities as possible.
