The DreamOval Foundation has named a new five-member Board of Directors as it prepares to expand its digital literacy and education programmes across Ghana and beyond. The appointments, announced on September 25, bring together professionals from legal practice, corporate audit and finance, international NGO management, and software engineering.
Moses Cofie takes the helm as Board Chair, with Dyllis Bruce-Cathline appointed as Company Secretary and Director. The board also includes Augustina Ekua Mills as Non-Executive Director, Kofi Asamoah-Kowri as Director, and Afua Asiamah Adjei as Executive Director. Together, they are expected to guide the foundation through an institutional growth phase and sharpen its focus on improving access to technology and education.
Afua Asiamah Adjei said the new board would add expertise and fresh strategic direction to the foundation’s work. “The appointment of our new Board of Directors marks an exciting chapter for the DreamOval Foundation,” she said. She described the board as a mix of seasoned executives, legal professionals, technology experts, and chartered accountants. This range of experience, she added, will help deepen the foundation’s connection with communities and young people.
For more than 13 years, the DreamOval Foundation has worked with young Ghanaians and women through technology and education. Adjei said the new board would help define the organisation’s vision, mission, and values as it moves forward. “Moving forward, this incoming board will help define our vision, mission, and values, sharpening our focus on what is important to our work,” she said.
Moses Cofie, the new Board Chair, said the foundation will maintain its focus on technology as a tool for youth empowerment and Africa’s development. “Empowering Africa’s youth through technology is at the heart of the African Renaissance,” he said. Cofie pledged to use his networks and partnerships to support the foundation’s growth across the continent. “As we expand across the continent, I will leverage our networks and partnerships to help execute on our vision,” he added.
Founded in Ghana in 2013, the DreamOval Foundation is a non-profit organisation that uses technology and digital skills to transform education and close the digital divide. Its long-term goal is to increase the technological knowledge, skills, and access to digital tools of 30 million underserved African youth by 2063.
The foundation’s programmes cover digital skills, innovation, quality education, and gender equality. Young people, educators, and communities are among the main beneficiaries. The new governance structure aims to expand these programmes, strengthen partnerships, and boost the foundation’s impact on digital empowerment and education across Africa.
The new board’s diverse backgrounds reflect the foundation’s broad focus. The legal and corporate finance expertise will support governance and accountability. The NGO management and software engineering experience will guide programme development and technological innovation. For the foundation, this mix is crucial as it seeks to scale its work beyond Ghana.
The foundation’s ambition to reach 30 million African youth by 2063 sets a clear target for its next phase. With the new board in place, DreamOval aims to sharpen its strategy and build on over a decade of work in digital education. This transition comes at a time when technology access is increasingly critical for young people’s opportunities in Africa.
By strengthening its leadership and governance, the DreamOval Foundation positions itself to respond to the growing demand for digital skills training and education. The new board will shape the foundation’s future steps and help it deliver measurable results in digital literacy and youth empowerment across the continent.
