About Dangtingis

Ghana's leading provider of practical financial education resources

Our Story

Founded in 2016, Dangtingis began as a small workshop series in Accra led by financial education specialist Kwame Asante. After witnessing the transformative impact of proper financial education on individuals and communities, Kwame assembled a team of financial experts, educators, and designers to develop practical financial education tools specifically designed for Ghanaians.

Our name "Dangtingis" comes from the Dagbani phrase meaning "knowledge is power," reflecting our belief that financial knowledge empowers individuals to take control of their economic future. What began as a modest initiative has grown into Ghana's leading provider of practical financial education resources, with our materials being used in schools, community centers, and corporate training programs nationwide.
