Abraham Tetteh Addy is an ardent fan of ethical leadership and a graduate of Ashesi University in Ghana with a first-class degree in Business Administration. His passion for improved education and sanitation in Ghana allowed him to work to initiate educational and sanitation ventures such as Yensua Educational Support (YES), Trash4Ed, TranSite, Happy Home Eco-sanitation Company (HHESCO), and Ahote Sanitation Project. For the past seven years, Abraham has been working in the education and sanitation sectors in Ghana and with rural communities to come up with community-led solutions to the issues of education and sanitation via a process of co-creation. Based on the impact of his work, he has been recognized as a Resolution Fellow, Royal Commonwealth Society Associate Fellow, and Queen’s Young Leader.
Abraham has carved a personal mission for himself, which is to enhance his knowledge and skills in educational leadership and to use that to help ensure a good blend of values acquisition and knowledge acquisition in educational institutions in Ghana. This personal mission is the main reason he is excited about pursuing his MEd in Higher Education at the UBC. Consequently, Abraham is eager to capitalize on the excellent facilities, diversity, and faculty at UBC and to use such an opportunity to accomplish his personal mission and help create an ethical society in his home country, Ghana.
