Musah grew up in rural Ghana, he had to work as a child to cover the cost of going to school. He struggled to do so and after making a shoe shine box he decided to leave home aged 14 to travel and make a living shining shoes, he made a treacherous 5000km journey from Ghana to Libya before seizing the opportunity to travel to the UK and eventually join the British Army. Now having been forced to leave the Army he has started a community-based project with the aim of changing the lives of those living in rural Ghana.

Having been introduced to Musah by a friend I found him an incredibly positive and inspirational person so it was great to talk to him. You can find him on LinkedIn and find out more about his project at www.helac.community
