Welcome to our Village
Woadze Tsatoe - a remote yet vibrant deprived rural community of about 1,980 residents in Volta Region of Ghana whose members seek to empower themselves through social entrepreneurship, community-owned businesses, and educational initiatives.
Prior to the founding of Amenuveve, the people relied on subsistence farming and fishing to survive. There was little opportunity for social and economic advancement.

Student volunteers helped to build a new school
Helpers from Abroad
In 2015, undergraduate students from the New York University Stern of Business travelled to Woadze Tsatoe. They helped to lay the groundwork for a school, sanitary facilities and a clean water borehole.
This visit would mark the first of many collaboration between the two groups.
Realizing a Vision
Meeting with subsequent classes of students would inspire several new initiatives: an artisan batik center, a sewing department, a clean water business, and a five acre vegetable farm.
Throiugh these community-woned enterprises, the village began to realize a vision of financial empowerment and self sufficiency.

Becoming a Nonprofit
In 2020, AMenuveve was registered as an official nonprofit in the United States of America (USA) and Ghana respectively to house all of the projects underway.
Most recently, the village has launched a new community health project called Volta Pads. This initiative will provide a safe, affordable and sustainable way for their women and girls to practice menstrual hygiene.
