About Us
Amplio Ghana is a nonprofit organization with a mission to empower the world's most vulnerable communities through knowledge sharing.
Bridging the knowledge gap
Amplio was founded in 2007 to address global poverty by creating simple, cost-effective, technology-based solutions to empower low-literate people with access to knowledge. We focus on reaching the most marginalized and underserved populations in remote rural areas. Together with our partners and supporters, we deliver programs across many sectors, including agriculture, health, education, and women's empowerment.
