Success Stories

Vera Amoako Tieku

Vera Amoako is my name and I am a young entrepreneur from Ghana. I joined Ignite with a passion for starting a sustainable agribusiness venture. Through the 16-week virtual training, I gained valuable insights into modern farming techniques, marketing strategies, and financial management. I also opted for the “Ten Days in Accra” add-on, which allowed me to network with my friends from other countries and learn from successful agribusinesses in the country. Upon completing Ignite, I can proudly say I have my business idea that can contribute to promoting agriculture here in Ghana.

I am Nyayowe Banda Kamwendo of Thunyako Farm Investments The Ignite programme has been the highlight of my entrepreneurial journey this year! Ignite has given me confidence and my tribe members were the best, supportive cheerleaders a woman could ever ask for! I’m fired up, and there’s no stopping me from here onwards Stakeholders are impressed with how well I am able to articulate my business and goals.. I couldn’t have done this without Ignite and my dedicated cheerleaders (Tribe members and accountability partner) Thank you so much to the Ignite team for all your tireless hard work and friendly reception when we contact you with our queries and trouble. The content that you ensured that we receive is a holistic game changer. It’s definitely something I didn’t think I needed, and now that I’ve received it, I can not be the same. I have realized how much I needed it.!!!!!! And that’s amazing! Thank you so much Ignite ✨
