Multiple award-winning filmmaker Kafui Danku has supported three hundred small-scale businesses through her debut Dream Achievers Project.
During the grand finale of the philanthropic initiative, outstanding participants were equipped with business essentials, including sewing machines, cake mixing machines, fertilizers, and fabrication machines, among others, to scale up their ventures.
According to Kafui Danku, the Dream Achievers Project stemmed from her zeal to empower young entrepreneurs to be economically independent.
“After the COVID-19 pandemic, I had a lot of calls from young people asking me for support, so I decided to use this initiative to help them earn their own money,” she disclosed.
She added that the project initially received an overwhelming two thousand applications, but three hundred were shortlisted. However, going forward, she hopes to expand the initiative to support all applicants.
The Dream Achievers Project was launched in February 2024, where small scale business owners were given the opportunity to pitch their business ideas or stories and win business essentials up to GHC50,000.
