In January of 2013, Kwami Williams and Emily Cunningham found themselves working in rural Ghana by different paths.
Emily was studying development economics at Harvard, frustrated by the disconnect between the information in her textbooks and realities in the developing world.
Born and raised in Ghana, Kwami and his family immigrated to the US at the age of 8. By 2012, he was living the American Dream having graduated from MIT with a degree in aerospace engineering and starting a career at NASA when a mentor challenged him to return to his native Ghana.
