“The 1% Club story is about strengthening people in creating positive change in their community, city, country – or the whole world. Because we believe that ordinary people can do extraordinary things if they set their minds to it. This way, anyone can make a real difference by acting local for the global goals”
IOM is collaborating with the 1% club to offer the ED4D participants the possibility to crowdfund a part of their start-up capital or launch a do-good campaign related to their business plan.

The campaigns of Charles Peprah and Richard Dickens are already ongoing. Others will follow.

Smile for Change is coming to our youth!
Go to the campaign

Richard’s company ‘Van de Dutchies Farm’ is a registered agribusiness company in Mepe, Ghana. He has ownership over 56 hectares of land suitable for rice and cassava. His goal is to support the local community through employment, empowerment programmes and solving food shortages.

Got to the campaign

Charles aims to encourage and engage the local community of Kumasi, Ghana, to ‘Recycle! Don’t trash our future’. Not only will this make a positive contribution to the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, it will also create a sustainable business for Charles and the local community.

 

Are you interested in helping these sustainable entrepreneurs to get their business plans off the ground? Kindly contribute to their crowdfunding campaigns. Richard and Charles will be very grateful.
