‘Gadgets4Ghana’ (G4G), a non-profit organization, operating with the belief that access to technology and its benefits must be equitable for all, has introduced a donation drive aimed at equipping children and young adults with the tools they need to thrive in today’s digital age.

The G4G initiative, a project put together by five young students - Kofi Fynn, Nigel Nettey, Maame Adwoa Owusu-Brefo, and Joshua Agbey, all of SOS-Hermann Gmeiner International College and Kwamina Fynn of the Ghana International School, operates on a simple but powerful philosophy, which says “every child deserves a chance.”

This belief emphasizes the organization’s mission to empower underprivileged youth across Ghana by providing them with essential electronic gadgets.

Speaking on the circumstances that led to the formation of G4G, Kofi Fynn said, “the COVID-19 pandemic exposed the fragility of our systems and the deep-seated inequalities that exist within them. The digital divide became apparent, leaving many behind as schools switched to e-learning options. Seeing how it disproportionately affected those from underprivileged backgrounds, birthed G4G – a testament to the belief that everyone, regardless of their circumstances, deserves access to the opportunities technology provides."

G4G accepts donations of both new and refurbished electronic gadgets, including laptops, iPads, tablets, and phones. Additionally, cash contributions are welcomed to help support the repair, refurbishment, and distribution of donated devices.

Nigel Nettey noted the critical role of partners and stakeholders, he said, “To maximize the impact of this campaign, G4G has forged strategic partnerships with local schools, community centers, and organizations like the Akua Kuenyehia Foundation (AKF). This collaborative approach ensures that every donation translates into real, tangible impact. We are confident that this initiative will empower 200 young adults by end of year 2025, and we are committed to steadily expanding our reach in the years to come.”

Through this initiative, G4G aims to enhance digital literacy and open up opportunities for children and young adults to expand their knowledge and skills.

Maame Adwoa Owusu-Brefo, one of the initiators of G4G said, “At G4G, we are driven to bridge the apparent digital divide in the country and equip every child with the tools they need to reach their full potential. We believe that technology empowers. It opens pathways to endless opportunities for both personal and national growth therefore we need to ensure equitable access for all.”

The initiative also calls on individuals, corporations, and institutions to join the cause.

“This is more than a donation drive – it’s a call to action for all of us to play a role in creating equal opportunities for every child in Ghana,” noted Joshua Agbey.

With a mission to bridge the digital divide, G4G is already igniting hope among communities that previously saw technology as out of reach. Each gadget delivered will represent a gateway to education, self-improvement, and a brighter future for a child or young adult.

Kwamina Fynn, expressed sincere gratitude to the partners and stakeholders particularly, Space Technics Systems and its CEO, Rudolph Baah, which has partnered with G4G to refurbish used devices received on a pro bono basis.
