GhanaThink Foundation is a youth-led NGO based in Ghana & the US. Its primary goal is to mobilise and organise talent for the benefit of Ghana. GhanaThink's landmark initiative is the Barcamp Ghana program, where people come together for a day of learning, sharing, networking and mentoring. The mission is to build a network of changemakers and entrepreneurs. GhanaThink also seeks to support the ideas generated at the Barcamps into projects, programs or ventures. With almost 60 events reaching over 8,000 young leaders since December 2008, Barcamp Ghana has been the launchpad for business start-ups such as Afrochic, Ahonya and Ashanti Tours. GhanaThink Foundation also hosts Junior Camp Ghana, the Junior Camp Internship Program and the Ghana Volunteer Program. Through a partnership with the US Embassy in Ghana, they organized TechCamp West Africa.
