The Hunger Project in Ghana is an individual of great experience, vision and a passionate commitment to achieve the sustainable end of hunger in Ghana, Prof. Samuel Sefa-Dedeh. In addition to numerous honors and responsibilities, he serves as chair of the board of Ghana's Food Distribution Corporation. As a Kellogg Foundation Fellow, Prof. Sefa-Dedeh traveled the world, gaining firsthand experience in the traditional food systems of countries as diverse as India, China, Brazil, Zimbabwe and the United States. The Hunger Project's vision is my own, and I can apply my experience here in ways that truly demonstrate that we in Ghana can solve our problems. One unique feature of The Hunger Project is its commitment to utilizing Ghana's own expertise to solve Ghana's problems.
Many groups send outside experts.
While they may have technical expertise, you lose the human factor. As an investor, we'd like you to have this new information on Ghana within the context of our broader Africa strategy. Our near-term plan is to establish The Hunger Project in four African countries, beginning with Ghana and South Africa. We believe we can expand as quickly as the necessary funds can be mobilized. For the first time, additional funds were raised through the prize and are being directed to our expansion in Africa.
