    • Ghana is building. Most of the world hasn’t seen it yet.

    Builtingh is where that changes: one home for the apps, websites, software, art and stories made by Ghanaians, put in front of the people who should see them.

    01 · The place

    It’s happening everywhere. In co-working spaces in Osu, on a student’s laptop in Tamale, after hours in a bank in Kumasi.

    People across Ghana are building the tools their neighbours actually use: paying with mobile money, finding a trotro, learning in their own language, running a market stall.

    02 · The gap

    Great work gets lost. Not because it isn’t good, but because it has nowhere to live.

    • A launch post. A day of likes, then buried by the feed.
    • A GitHub repo. Three stars, all from friends.
    • A pitch deck. Sitting in an inbox that never replied.
    • A phone in a pocket. Shown to one person at a time.

    03 · The home

    So we built it a home. One place for everything Ghanaians make on a screen.
