About kasahorow

The kasahorow Foundation is a Ghana-based non-governmental, not-for-profit organization (Reg. No. G38-318).

Mission

Our mission is to promote inclusion through languages.

Vision

We look forward to the day when every person can expand their understanding of the world around them in their first language.

How We Work

We aim to be the go-to organization for language dictionaries and translation, improving the inclusiveness of languages around the world through these resources.

We have made languages our primary focus by assigning kasahorow Trustees to look after languages on each continent. Originally, our focus was only on African languages, however we are expanding our focus to other continents. We currently have Trustees appointed to Africa, Asia and Europe.

Language managers receive 70% of the benefits derived from the languages that fall under their mandate.

Logo

The kasahorow logo is made up of the word "kasahorow" and a stylized fullstop. The stylized fullstop is an Adinkra symbol. The symbol means "Nyi a ɔ nnyim no sua a, ɔ hu" [If one who does not know learns, they know]. We believe all things can be known if we are willing to learn. It is the pursuit of knowledge. We promote the pursuit of this knowledge in native languages.

History

kasahorow was first incubated by The GhanaThink Foundation in July 2005.
