Disability is not inability. Inspired by Dzivor in #Ghana, who hasn't let his disability stop him from creating #AI-powered e-commerce widget. This ‘Boafo’ #innovation translates local languages & provides captions, enabling his peers with disabilities to access online contents.
Meet Desmond Davis, a young refrigeration innovator from Takoradi who builds freezers using barrels to help fisherfolk preserve their catch.
Traditional refrigerators are not built for coastal conditions, leading to rust and post-harvest losses. Desmond’s locally crafted freezers are highly resistant to rust, making them a durable and practical solution for coastal communities.
With support from @UNDP’s #YAI programme, powered by @MastercardFdn, Desmond is helping fisherfolk reduce losses and improve their livelihoods with an affordable, long-lasting refrigeration solution. His innovation is also contributing to sustainable fisheries and food security by minimizing waste and ensuring better preservation of seafood.
