Emma T. Akuffo

Founder & Executive Director 
Director of Philantrophy & Fundraising

As a certified child advocate and MEDscience teacher at Harvard Medical School, the vision of Smart Kids Ghana was birthed out my passion for education equity & excellence. As a facilitator of critical thinking, I noticed a struggle among a great number of the Ghanaian students we taught. I aimed to create strategic curriculums that would boost critical thinking and equip students with problem-solving skills, resulting in ingenuity, innovation and excellence.
