At Transped, we know that logistics is much more than just transporting goods. Behind every shipment lies a purpose, and sometimes that purpose transcends borders to become the future. With this vision, our Barcelona office collaborated with Ousman Umar, founder and CEO of NASCO Feeding Minds and co-founder of NascoTech, to deliver computer equipment to schools in Ghana. This joint effort demonstrates how cooperation and logistics can become tools for social transformation.
Ousman’s story perfectly reflects this transformation. Born in Ghana, he experienced firsthand the hardships of growing up without access to technological education. After a difficult migration journey that took him across deserts and seas to reach Europe, Ousman found a new beginning in Barcelona. There, he not only received an education but also conceived the idea of giving back to his country what he himself had received: real opportunities to choose a different future. Thus, in 2012, NASCO Feeding Minds was born, an NGO with offices in Ghana and Barcelona dedicated to bridging the digital divide and providing ICT skills training to thousands of young people.
“We want to save the lives of thousands of people who deserve access to opportunities and information before risking their lives on this journey.”
— Ousman Umar, founder of NASCO Feeding Minds
Over the years, NASCO Feeding Minds has created 17 computer labs integrated into more than 58 rural schools, training over 6,600 students annually. In these spaces, children and young people not only learn to use a computer, but also acquire the tools to navigate an increasingly digital world. The approach is simple yet powerful: feeding minds instead of feeding impossible dreams.
The initiative doesn’t stop there. In 2021, NascoTech was launched, a social enterprise that expands the impact of the initial project. Through training programs in web development and programming, it prepares young Ghanaians as full-stack developers and connects them with European companies. The circle is complete: from learning to turn on a computer at school to working on international technology projects from Ghana.
Along this path, the collaboration with Transped Barcelona has been a key step. Our role has been to ensure that the computer equipment arrives in good condition from Spain to Ghana, covering thousands of kilometers to end up in the hands of students who will use it as a learning tool. It’s not just a shipment: it’s proof that the logistics chain can also be a chain of opportunities.
Each container transported may hide something much more valuable: the possibility of changing lives.
Sustainability, understood at Transped as a comprehensive commitment to the environment, also has a social dimension. By supporting projects like NASCO Feeding Minds, we contribute to making education and technology accessible to those who need it most, helping to build stronger, more self-reliant communities that are better prepared for the future.
Because every container transported, every load secured, and every route designed can hold something far more valuable: the possibility of changing lives. With this collaboration, we reaffirm our conviction that moving the world also means moving opportunities.
