About Us

Untold International is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering individuals and communities through language, literacy, and literature. We believe in the power of storytelling to unlock imagination, which in turn unlocks the powerful potential of innovation.

Through our subsidiary NGO, Untold Ghana, we help to build the next generation of leaders, creatives, and critical thinkers who will be able to bring uniquely Ghanaian solutions to the imperfect world they inherit.

What We Do

We partner with rural Ghanaian communities to buttress existing educational resources through book donations, library planting, extracurricular classes, and multilingual literacy materials and education. While we recognize that in a globalized world, English opens doors, we believe that true innovation happens most effectively in heart languages. As part of a decolonizing effort, we therefore work with local educators and partner organizations to equip both students and adults with local-language books, classes, and creative outlets like workshops.

Current Projects

• Kasadwini Atenaeɛ, a library, community gathering space, and classroom, offers both English and Twi-language education and resources to the rural community of Asisiriwa.
• In the future, we hope to establish a Twi Student Magazine with the JHS students of Asisiriwa where they can explore creativity through storytelling, as well as develop leadership and management skills.

Our work goes beyond sending books to children in rural communities. We are proud of our partnership with the communities we work in - partnerships that allow us to build into not only the next generation of creators and thinkers, but also educators like Kumi and Mary, our head librarian and head teacher, respectively, at Kasadwini Atenaeɛ, who have worked tirelessly to improve the opportunities for students in their community through Untold International.
