Our Mission

“Hecuba Entrepreneurs are committed to rendering

their skills and intellect to the development of

emerging countries.”

Kwabena Owusu-Amoah

CEO, Hecuba Group

Who We Are

Hecuba Group is a conglomerate of organizations advancing

innovative solutions to pressing socio− economic problems.

We are a group of young social entrepreneurs committed

to rendering our skills and intellect to the development of

emerging countries.

With a team of changemakers and highly experienced advisors,

we are unleashing the entrepreneural potential that l ies

dormant in some developing countries.

What We Do

We design innovative and sustainable projects that tackle the

problems at their core. By partnering with local agencies and

entrepreneurs, we implement bottom−up solutions that work

to positively impact our target population.

Hecuba has four sub− organizations : Hecuba Health, Hecuba

Energy, Hecuba Agriculture, and Hecuba Entrepreneurship.

We are convinced that these sectors are central to economic

growth.

OUR STORY

I left the shores of West Africa

at a young age and have since

had the opportunity to travel

t h e wo r l d . M y ex p e r i e n ce

v i s i t i n g v a r i o u s c o u n t r i e s

led me to wonder why there

i s a h u g e s o c i o - e c o n o m i c

gap between developed and

d eve l o p i n g co u n t r i e s . Fo r

instance, why do women in

sub-Saharan Africa have a 1−in−16 chance of dying during

pregnancy and childbirth as

compared to a 1− in−4 , 0 0 0

ratio in Europe and the United

States? O r why do 98% of

people suffering from chronic

h u n ge r l i ve i n d eve l o p i n g

countries? Finding the right

answers to these questions is

not an easy task.

I a s s e m b l e d a te a m o f

yo u n g e n t re p re n e u r s w h o

sensed the urgency to find

f u n c t i o n a l s o l u t i o n s t o

p res s i ng s o ci a l ch a l l a nges .

T h e r e s u l t i s t h e H e c u b a

health centers in G hana to

developing mobile apps for

users around the world, we

a re i nt ro d u ci ng n ew i d e a s

that will revolutionize the way

the world looks at economic

development.

This is what we know how

to do. This is what we do best.

not Us then Who? If not Here

then Where? If not Now then

When?

HECUBA

The places we’ve been. The ideas we’ve shared. The people we’ve met. The

failures and the successes. None of these adventures have been more challenging and rewarding like founding the Hecuba Group.

Maternal Health Project

Hecuba Health is focused on our goal of reaching 550 women in 2 years . The n atu ral b iolo gical process of childbirth will no longer pose a threat to the lives of women in the communities in which we operate.

health project to address the

high incidence of maternal

deaths in Ghana. Like most

c o u n t r i e s i n We s t A f r i c a ,

G hana has a high maternal

mortality rate of 340 deaths

per 100,000 live births. Most

of these deaths occur due

to the fac t that expec t ant

mothers in the rural areas

do not have access to quality

maternal healthcare.
