Banasco Nuhu Seidu & Ousman Umar: From a Desert Pilgrimage to Democratizing IT Education

Banasco Nuhu Seidu and Ousman Umar are brothers and Cofounders of NASCO Feeding Minds, a nonprofit organization dedicated to reducing African immigration problems and changing the direction of humanitarian aid towards enriching the minds of Africans.

Oumar describes how a lack of opportunities, education, and perceived perspectives combined with the narrative of a comfortable and easy life in Europe led him to embark on a trip north to "paradise" at the tender age of 14. His dream of a better life in Europe turned into a 5-year ordeal through African desserts, Libya, crossing the sea on self-built boats to life on the streets of Spain.

The two brothers describe how Ousmar’s experiences shaped and changed their perspectives, followed by a deep desire and vision to provide better opportunities and education to Africans in their home countries. Based on this, they established NASCO Feeding Minds, which has already made a significant impact in the lives of Ghanaians through their ICT Literary training, job creation for students, and awareness campaigns.
