Meet David (Kwaku) Boamah, an artist by trade, and non-profit director by passion. David is a simple man with huge ambition.

Currently living in Ntonso Craft Village, Ashanti-Region of Ghana, since 2007 David has been working to bring relief to the children of the village. Not just in the form of monetary support, but also through empowering the youth to learn traditional crafting techniques as a source of income.

Through textile production, weaving, Adinkra stamping, and storytelling, David enhances cultural understanding of natural resources that have been used to create beautiful art for centuries.

THREAD Foundation provides education and training to local students after school to support sustainable development and equip the next generation of community leaders with the skillset they will need in the future.
