OUR MISSION
The Sam Buah Foundation, founded by Sam Buah, is an independent not-for-profit organisation dedicated to mentoring, training, and providing opportunities for the young people in the community especially those from the ethnic minority backgrounds. We aim to help young individuals discover their talents through various development programmes. By offering the right opportunities, we can transform the lives of thousands of young black minority ethnics. Our framework, partners, and professionals support our mission.

WHY THE FOUNDATION
- Setting up and running this Foundation has always been Sam’s vision.
- Sam was given an opportunity years ago during his time in the UK as a black minority ethnic international student. This opportunity changed his life, enabling him to transition from a Kitchen Porter to an experienced Project Manager and author.
- Born and raised in Ghana, Sam faced challenges coming to the UK to live and settle. Despite his background and inexperience, someone recognised his potential and gave him a chance to climb the corporate ladder.
As a result, Sam’s career progressed significantly, leading him to write a book on project management.
- The Sam Buah Foundation aims to support young people from underprivileged backgrounds, particularly ethnic minorities, who may be in similar situations to what Sam experienced years ago.
HOW WE WORK
- We support young black and minority ethnic individuals by identifying, mentoring, training, coaching, and connecting them to professional opportunities.
- Many talented young people with potential for leadership and innovation may never realise their abilities due to a lack of opportunities.
- We collaborate with partners, charities, foundations, institutions, corporate bodies, and donors to achieve our mission.
- We engage all relevant stakeholders to make professional opportunities accessible to underprivileged and ethnic minority youth.
HOW WE ARE FUNDED
The Sam Buah Foundation is funded by private and corporate donors, book sales by the Founder, a percentage of JOJE Project Training revenue, proceeds from merchandise and events, and various funding applications.
