AKWAABA!
Co-Founder’s Welcome Message

“I have tried several times to explain the chill I felt as I walked through the slave dungeons with Dione Warwick during my first visit to Ghana in 1992.
At that time, I knew my soul could never be at peace until I had done something significant on this continent of my ancestry.
I believe my humble duty is to unlock the heavy chains of illiteracy that still continue to keep the minds of my people in abject poverty in the midst of plenty. I am deeply humbled to have the opportunity to see the fulfillment of this duty in my lifetime through the Neko Tech Center Project.
Health and Technology are the two anchors that will help improve the plight of Africa in the 21st century.”
– Nene Katey Ocansey I (a.k.a. Isaac Hayes), Co-Founder of Neko Tech
