Private Afforestation Developers Organisation (PADO) - Ghana 

I hold a Master of Philosophy (MPhil) in Geography & Resource Development from University of Ghana, Legon and an environmentalist and avid campaigner against deforestation and desertification. I have over 10 years’ experience in afforestation and agribusiness. Currently, I am embarking on reforesting 104 hectares of degraded forest in one of the forest reserves in Ghana. I raised poultry for more than 10 years and will include pig farming. PADO is made up of over 60 foresters out of which about 55 % are women. I am the Women's Champion and Convener. I believe in networking and sharing best practices and joining such an august group will definitely be beneficial.
