e-Happy Program

In the quiet farming community of Gudaayiri in the Wa East District of the Upper West Region, a young farmer, Iddrisu Aminu, is redefining what it means to be a changemaker.

For years, Aminu tilled the land—growing soybeans, maize, rice, and yams to sustain his family and support his community. Yet beyond the fields, he carried a vision that reached far past planting and harvesting.

That vision found wings when he joined the Harnessing Agricultural Productivity and Prosperity for Youth (HAPPY) Program through the Catholic Relief Services (CRS).

Agri-Impact Limited, led by Group CEO Mr. Daniel Fahene Acquaye, has been honoured by the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) for its outstanding contribution to agribusiness innovation and technology.

The recognition celebrates the company’s unwavering support for KNUST’s E-Learning Centre and the broader university community, particularly in advancing the use of drone technology in agriculture.

The Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) has honoured renowned agribusiness expert and CEO of Agri-Impact Limited, Mr. Daniel Fahene Acquaye, by naming its new drone training facility after him.

The Dan F. Acquaye Drone Innovation and Simulation Unit, located at the University’s E-Learning Centre, was unveiled during the opening ceremony of KNUST’s E-Learning Week 2025 on Tuesday, July 22, 2025.

Cynthia Ohenewaa Botchway is one of the many young Ghanaians whose future is being transformed through the HAPPY Program—an initiative of Mastercard Foundation in partnership with Agri-Impact Limited.

Working under the HAPPY Broiler Project with Ransboat Poultry Farms, Cynthia is building practical skills, gaining leadership experience, and paving the way for her own agribusiness dream.

“I’ve learned so much through this project. I currently serve as a young supervisor and oversee the work of other participants through the broiler project,” she shares proudly.

The e-HAPPY project is poised to revolutionize the agricultural sector, empowering youth with cutting-edge skills and expertise to drive growth, productivity, and prosperity. Marking a significant milestone in Ghana's agricultural transformation, the e-HAPPY project successfully launched its inaugural welcome and orientation meeting for its pioneering cohort of e-Agri-preneurs and Coding and Front-End Developers (COFED) training under the Harnessing Agricultural Prosperity and Productivity for Youth (HAPPY) Program.

The Mastercard Foundation in partnership with Agri-Impact Limited has rolled out an ambitious and transformative program dubbed Harnessing Agricultural Productivity and Prosperity for Youth (HAPPY) to be implemented by eight Implementing Partners including NewAge Agric Solutions, National Service Scheme (NSS), Ghana Cares (MiDA), Ghana Enterprises Agency (GEA), Ministry of Food and Agriculture (MOFA), TechnoServe, Catholic Relief Services (CRS) and Jobberman.
