Donate Now"Africa's challenge has never been a lack of intelligence or ambition — it is the gap between how people are trained and what industry needs. DTI was built to close that gap and the DTI Berekuso Campus is our boldest answer yet."
WHY GIVE —
60% of Africa's population is under 25. By 2050, one in four young people globally will be African — yet industries across the continent report critical skills gaps while youth unemployment remains persistently high. DTI was founded to intervene at this fault line. Since 2016, we have trained over 48,932 learners, with 81,076 youth transitioned to meaningful work across Ghana's leading industries. The Berekuso Campus is our boldest step yet: a purpose-built, 11.29-acre institution that will triple our capacity and set the continental standard for technical education — reshaping how Africa learns, works, and leads the future.
BEREKUSO CAMPUS —
THE DTI PROMISE —
Every investment in DTI activates three interlocking outcomes — from the individual learner to the African economy.
DTI replaces passive, theory-heavy education with hands-on, industry-led practice. Learning here is not about memorisation — it is about competence, confidence, and character. Every student applies skills in real environments and refines them through industry exposure.
Through the Workplace Experience Learning (WEL) model, students transition seamlessly from training rooms to production floors, studios, and innovation hubs. DTI graduates do not just fill vacancies — they optimise operations, reduce error rates, and deliver Precision Quality from day one.
Leadership is embedded through responsibility, collaboration, and real-world challenges. DTI is not training people for jobs — it is training job creators. Graduates leave as leaders of teams, enterprises, and industries, with the audacity to reshape Africa's economic future.
INFRASTRUCTURE —
Purpose-designed learning halls, seminar rooms, and tutorial spaces with industry-grade A/V systems.
World-class fabrication shops, welding bays, CNC machining centres, and digital design studios.
A dedicated research library with digital access, alumni archive, and collaborative study spaces.
Cutting-edge digital fabrication and rapid prototyping facilities for student project work.
Residential facilities, recreation, canteen, and peer-learning networks that build life-long bonds.
Join our partners in building Ghana's premier design and technology campus. Every commitment — large or small — shapes the next generation of innovators.
Since welcoming its first cohort of 32 students in 2019, the Design and Technology Institute (DTI) has grown to over 423 active learners across its East Legon campuses, reflecting the growing demand for industry-aligned technical training.
DTI is currently developing the Berekuso Centre of Excellence, an 11.29-acre flagship Pan-African multi-skills campus designed to strengthen technical education, workforce development, and industrial capacity across the region.
We invite individuals and organisations to be part of this transformative legacy through strategic collaboration, cash contributions, or in-kind support, including equipment, materials, and technical expertise to support Phase 1 of the project, with completion scheduled within 24 months following groundbreaking in March 2026.
Together, we can reshape how Africa Learns, Works & Leads and build the workforce of the future.
