Our Vision

Our vision is to be a national leader in delivering technology-backed solutions for developmental problems and empowering communities through information technology adaptation and literacy.

Our Mission

Our mission is to power local development initiatives with innovative technological solutions to create change while advancing IT literacy across rural Ghana through training, research, and public education.

Background Information

Faciotech Foundation LBG registered with the Registrar General of Ghana, who assigned registration number CG037130423. It has also registered with the Department of Social Welfare of the Ministry of Gender, Children, and Social Protection of Ghana, receiving licence number NPOS/GR01/LN01165/24.

At Faciotech Foundation, we recognize a significant gap in the philanthropic landscape: while many organizations provide essential financial support to NGOs, communities, and initiatives, more technological solutions and expertise are still needed. We aim to close this divide by providing innovative technologies and practical knowledge, enabling our partners to achieve long-lasting and significant outcomes.

We understand that true empowerment extends beyond financial aid. It involves equipping organizations with the tools and knowledge they need to thrive in an increasingly digital world. Our services include state-of-the-art technology solutions, comprehensive training programs, and ongoing support to ensure our partners can maximize their potential and drive meaningful change.

Technology for Social Causes

We believe in the power of grassroots mobilization and local community causes. That is why we are passionate about supporting groups and organizations to deploy technology in creating awareness on social issues, undertake public sensitization campaigns and mobilize citizens for social causes.

We create online platforms to serve all these purposes, including the deployment of crowd funding technology solutions to enable public donations towards a social good.

These solutions are important, as they can help small and medium-scale non-profits raise funds to support their causes. Beyond donations, the platform also supports the exchange of ideas and sharing of stories to encourage users.

Our focus on NGOs ensures we guide them to maintain a positive online presence and achieve their digital goals. We do this by creating fully functional websites at highly discounted costs to enable them to reach wider audiences.

Consultancy services are also available to support NGOs to leverage on the internet to promote their initiatives using dynamic strategies, including creative content, and can drive audience engagement and participation.

Agricultural Innovation

Despite being the mainstay of rural communities, agriculture faces many challenges that deprive farming communities of maximum output in the sector. Technological advancement has made it possible to tackle challenges involved in irrigation, plowing, land surveillance, harvesting, food storage, pest and disease control, among others, in a cost-effective way.

Faciotech’s approach includes educating farmers on technologies that simplify their activities, make them more productive and ultimately increase their potential for profits.

Key in our agricultural service solution is our drone services for varied purposes. Our drone for pest control replaces traditional pesticide spraying as a better alternative because it is easier, faster and cheaper.

The drones also make it easy to sow seeds efficiently over large tracts of land. Besides this, we can provide farmland surveillance activities such as monitoring for weeds, pests, irrigation, and fertilizer shortage. The high-resolution aerial photography and video service also makes crop and livestock farming operations easier while we provide comprehensive reporting systems.

Technological support and training

We provide tailor-made IT training and support for relevant stakeholders in development, including students, community leaders, state agencies and non-governmental organizations.

Our training focuses on supporting individual farmers, traders, social workers and organizations to leverage technology in designing appropriate solutions for common socio-economic challenges in rural communities.

We also undertake structured basic IT training using our functional curriculum to enable young people with little or no IT skills to become IT literate. These training courses are part of our core mandate for improving IT literacy in rural communities.

In view of our strong commitment towards information technology education and the need to remove all barriers that limit people for pursuing IT, we provide limited scholarships for passionate young people interesting in pursuing IT-related courses to enable them to concentrate and fully benefit from the intensive theory and practice of their chosen IT field.

Land Management Technology Services

Faciotech is leading in the innovation in managing and securing lands and other real estate using technology. Through its digital platform, we are contributing to addressing the challenge of high vacancy prevalent in most parts of Ghana and bridging the gap between real estate developers and home seekers.

Despite the huge housing deficit in the country, the vacancy rate of buildings remains high. While the situation has in part been attributed to the inability of home seekers to afford properties, research shows that the daunting task of finding suitable homes from the vast number of homes significantly contributed to the problem.

Despite the increase in the housing stocks in recent times, vacancies rates are still rising with worse housing conditions. Our research shows a disconnection between real estate developers and home seekers in Ghana. A situation where home developers are developing for a non-existing market or home seekers cannot locate their desired properties because of the non-availability of data.

We work with real estate businesses to implement our robust yet simple solution that will assist them in reaching the ideal homebuyers. We envision the possibility of bridging the disconnect and knowledge gap of the industry.

Leveraging Tech for the SDGs

The Sustainable Development Goals are a collection of 17 global goals set by the United Nations General Assembly in 2015 for the year 2030. They include No Poverty, Zero Hunger, Good Health and Well-being, Quality Education, Gender Equality, Clean Water and Sanitation, Affordable and Clean Energy, Decent Work and Economic Growth, Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure, Reduced Inequality, Sustainable Cities and Communities, Responsible Consumption and Production, Climate Action, Life Below Water, Life on Land, Peace and Justice Strong Institutions, Partnerships to achieve the Goal.

Our aim at Faciotech is to use technology to work towards achieving all the goals and deliberately share information about the linkages between technology and these goals through symposia and interactive media.

We are also intentional about using our online platforms to whip up interest from the public towards contributing their quota towards the achievement of the goals.

Social research in technology

Creating innovations to deal with complex issues requires extensive research on various social and economic issues. This is one of our fortes at Faciotech.

Our team of devoted researchers maintains a strong work ethic and expertise in conducting innovative research that produces precise results essential for making significant decisions in business, economy, agriculture, or social initiatives.

Technology plays an important role in this delivery, either internally for our organization’s growth or externally for third-party enterprises that hire our service in their quest to come up with viable solutions to solve complex societal issues.

Having empirical evidence helps to create innovations that can increase efficiency. That is why research is pivotal to our success at Faciotech.
