We’re excited to introduce Salam Mahamadu as our new Country Director of Operations and Support in Ghana; a familiar face stepping into a new chapter of leadership. Salam’s journey with us has been nothing short of inspiring. Having served as a Programs Assistant, he played a vital role in delivering impactful projects across Ghana, especially in the Northern region, where his work has touched countless lives. His commitment to fostering love, compassion, and happiness within communities is evident in every initiative he undertakes.
Long before joining our team, Salam had already made significant strides in the nonprofit space. In 2016, he founded the Centre for Liberty, a nonprofit think tank focused on education, entrepreneurship, and charity. A year later, he aligned his vision with GiveDirect, taking on the role of a Community Champion and expanding his reach and impact. His unique blend of business acumen and heart for service allowed him to effectively balance his work as a self-employed entrepreneur while dedicating himself to meaningful community development.
Salam holds a Master’s degree in Business Administration and Finance from the University of Ghana and a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting and Finance from the University for Development Studies. His academic foundation, combined with his real-world experience, equips him with the strategic insight and operational excellence needed to drive our mission forward.
We look forward to the journey ahead with Salam at the helm. His dedication to positive change in the lives of rural people reflects our shared values and vision for a better future. Join us in congratulating him as he steps into this new and exciting role!
