Hi, my name is
Nathaniel Aidoo
I am a Biochemistry major student at the University of Ghana with a general interest in making social impact through community-based projects and initiatives and a special interest in Public health reformation in Ghana.
My Profile
Everyone who claims to have identified his or her purpose at a given point in time is probably establishing that claim based on a passion he or she has identified. My passion revolves around anything that makes a solid positive impact in the lives of people, I believe in community service, I believe in civil service, I believe in servant leadership, I believe that it takes a true leader to truly effect a change, I also believe that everybody and anybody can be a leader. It just takes the right heart.
I have therefore purposed it in my heart to dedicate myself to becoming a transformational leader of tomorrow and for this course, I take up leadership roles, initiate and participate in community-based projects, learn more about leadership and how to be a better leader by joining leadership programs, seminars, webinars, fellowships e.t.c. Lastly, I also dedicate my time to sharing everything I learn through mentorship programs, youth empowerment, and this blog.
Projects
Youth Equip to Succeed (YES) Mentorship Program
The YES Mentoring Program is my project which is affiliated with INSPYA and was founded in 2018, its vision is to mentor school going children within the ages of 10 and 18 who come from deprived homes in the Adenta Municipality in Greater Accra to equip them to become high achievers and ethical leaders in society and with a mission to mentor at least 100 children annually.
Pressure Impact News
The Pressure Impact News is a site blog that contains Nat’s Impact Stories and Health Blog. The whole idea here is to share with the world about the social impact I have been able to achieve, discuss issues revolving around youth leadership and empowerment and finally blood on issues concerning public health reformation
Kufuor-Talk lecture series
The K-Talk is a lecture series that aims at bringing successful and distinguished resource persons from diverse disciplines and fields to cultivate a sense of leadership and patriotism in students. This is a strategic undertaking by the Kufuor Scholars to extend the impacts of our leadership training to others. The K-Talk has witnessed inspirational and life-changing messages from high profiled personalities in different fields and has impacted thousands.
Project Currency
- This project seeks to advocate for better handling of the Ghanaian currency by creating awareness in schools. Churches, market centres and television stations.
- Moreover, there would be a lot of write-ups in the form of articles and poems on the said project which would be published and displayed in the various national newspapers.
- Further seeks to organize a forum where the populace would be taught how to keep the Ghana currency. All and sundry would be encouraged to use purses, wallets and bags for storing money.
