Meet the young men improving
sanitation in Gh with eco-
friendly public toilets
Some of the founders of HHESCO:
How did you come by this
idea and how was the
startup process like?
Climb the
mountains not so
the world can see
you, but so that you
can see the world
We came up with this idea
as a team because of our
passion for the environment
and our passion to solve
one of mankind’s pressing
problems. Abraham Addy
who was then in his third
year in University had
started a project called
Transite. This project was
focused on helping
communities eliminate
landfill sites by transforming
them into meaningful
recreational spaces instead.
During that period, Kwabena
and Joseph equally passionate
about the environment had also
only recently conceived the
idea to start an environmental
education project after
conducting research and
visiting many recycling centers
in Accra since their first year in
university. This project was
called EnviroLead.
