About Dowehorged

Smart Habits, Strong Finances

Our Mission

At Dowehorged, we believe that financial wellness isn't just about managing money—it's about building habits that lead to lasting financial freedom. Founded in 2015 in Kumasi, Ghana, our company was born from a simple observation: traditional financial education wasn't working for most people.

Our mission is to transform financial education by focusing on practical habit formation rather than abstract concepts. We help students and working adults gain confidence in budgeting, setting achievable financial goals, and avoiding common debt traps through interactive learning experiences and proven behavioral tools.

We're committed to making financial education accessible, engaging, and—most importantly—effective at creating real change in people's financial lives.

Interactive Learning

We believe in learning by doing. Our resources combine digital tools with practical exercises that create immediate application of financial principles.

What Our Students Say

"Dowehorged's program changed my relationship with money completely. I went from living paycheck to paycheck to having a six-month emergency fund and clear financial goals. The habit-building approach made all the difference—I didn't just learn concepts; I changed my daily actions."

David Asante

Teacher, Kumasi

"As a university student, I was terrified about managing my finances after graduation. The Investment Basics Workshop gave me the confidence to start small with investing while still in school. Now I'm helping my friends understand how to build financial security from an early age."

Esther Mensah

Student, University of Ghana

"I had tried budgeting apps and books before, but nothing stuck until I went through the Financial Habit Builder program. The way they break everything down into tiny daily actions made it possible for me to actually change my spending patterns for good."
