The Sustain-A-Bean Foundation has been presented with the Community Impact Award at the 8th Ghana Business Awards held at the Kempinski Gold Coast Hotel, Accra, in recognition of its exceptional contribution to national development through social innovation and community transformation.
The ceremony, themed “Creative Economy Revolution through Innovation: Redefining Ghana’s GDP Landscape,” celebrated organisations demonstrating excellence, creativity, and inclusive growth in Ghana’s evolving economy.
Empowering Communities through trade
The Sustain-A-Bean Foundation has earned nationwide acclaim for its pioneering trade-to-impact model, which links commercial activity directly to measurable social progress. Under this framework, every product sold within the foundation’s partner ecosystem funds projects in healthcare, education, sanitation, and women’s economic empowerment.
A flagship example is the recently completed WASH infrastructure at Tetekasum B.A School in the Eastern Region. The initiative delivers a borehole for safe drinking water, a biodigester toilet and urinal facilities, and multiple handwashing stations—significantly improving hygiene and dignity for hundreds of pupils.
The foundation’s operations are anchored in a regenerative framework integrating education, infrastructure, and livelihoods. Its philosophy is simple: impact must not rely on aid; it should be embedded in trade itself.
Through community trust funds and women-led cooperatives, the organisation promotes financial inclusion and long-term resilience. Each intervention aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly those on poverty reduction, quality education, gender equality, and clean water.
