Overview of the proposed partnership
Shatta Wale founded Shaxi in December 2021 with a vision to alleviate youth unemployment challenges in Ghana.
The service has allowed aspiring drivers to join the platform by paying a daily fee of GHS 20. This structure not only offers them the freedom to work flexible hours but also enables them to earn a sustainable income, thus prioritising job creation over mere profit generation.
The initiative has been instrumental in providing affordable transportation solutions while simultaneously empowering drivers to take control of their financial futures.
In light of this, Malik Basintale has commenced formal discussions with Shatta Wale to explore a strategic collaboration that would broaden Shaxi's operational reach and create a myriad of job opportunities for young Ghanaians.
This partnership aligned seamlessly with the mission of the YEA, which is focused on reducing youth employment through innovative, sustainable solutions.
