Hilda Addah
Hilda Addah was born and raised in Takoradi, a coastal town in the Southwestern region of Ghana. She has a degree in social and community work and in history and adult education. Hilda has over 14 years of experience in social and community development, sports administration, education, as well as sanitation and hygiene.
Hilda was first introduced to the concept of plastic waste recycling by the chairman of Asase Foundation, John Tsaras. The ASASE concept resonated with her because of her social and community development work background as well as her sanitation and hygiene behavior change programme that she promote among children in local schools.
Hilda is dedicated to helping build a viable and sustainable community base project operated by women.
“Asase is a call to action and as a citizen, my inclusion is my answer to act now.” – Hilda
Patricia Agyare
Patricia Agyare, the Project Officer of Asase foundation, holds a Bachelor’s degree in Economics from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST). Her passion for the environment increased after studying environmental economics as an elective in her final year. She became very much interested in ensuring environmental sustainability after learning about recycling and all the products that could be made of plastic waste.
Patricia joined Asase in June 2018 after learning about the core objectives of the foundation. She fell in love with the fact that Asase seeks to cash in on the trash in the environment while empowering women to change the lives of their children. All these key elements were in line with what she values most in society; the environment, women and children.
“I pledge to put in all my efforts for the goals of Asase to be achieved.” – Patricia
