Tech entrepreneur and philanthropist Austa Albright has officially launched the ‘Austa Albright Start-Up Grant’, an initiative aimed at providing financial support to struggling young entrepreneurs in Ghana's Mion constituency in the Northern Region.
The project, in partnership with an aspiring Member of Parliament, Misbahu Mahama Adams, is designed to empower start-ups and foster economic growth in the region.
The Start-Up Grant is a core initiative of Austa Aid, an organization founded by Austa to support enterprising individuals with the resources they need to lead more productive and fulfilling lives.
This partnership marks the foundation's first major project in Ghana.
“We are committed to equipping young people with opportunities to succeed. This grant will serve as a lifeline to struggling start-ups in Mion, ensuring they have the resources to thrive,” said Austa.
In addition to the Mion initiative, Austa Aid is setting up a bakery in Offinso, located in Ghana's Ashanti Region. This bakery will employ local women, providing them with a sustainable source of income.
The project’s goal is to produce baked goods for sale in neighbouring communities, contributing to local economic development.
Speaking on the foundation's broader vision, Austa shared, “We are working with other organizations to expand our impact across Ghana and beyond. Several other initiatives are in the pipeline, all aimed at creating better opportunities for young people across Africa.”
With businesses spanning Africa, the UK, and the UAE, Austa has leveraged his expertise as a tech entrepreneur to inspire and empower others.
His philanthropic efforts through Austa Aid highlight his commitment to driving change in under-served communities. The foundation has promised regular updates on its upcoming projects, which are set to tackle unemployment and create opportunities for young people across the continent.
