Georgina Kwakye
To the wider public, Georgina Kwakye is best known for her acting and presenting career on Dutch television. What most are unaware of, however, is that she is also a development agent and trainer of diaspora organisations. In 2005 she founded the Ghanasi Foundation, to support development projects in Ghana initiated by her father, Dr. Kwakye. In 2012, Georgina founded her own organisation, Pimp My Village, a crowdfunding platform for the African diaspora in the Netherlands to support them in carrying out development projects in their country of origin. For Pimp My Village Georgina provides communication- and crowdfunding training to (migrant) organisations.
Georgina Kwakye shares lessons about how diaspora organisations can have an added value in the Dutch development agenda and how their support to Dutch NGO’s could lead to a win-win situation.
