That story is strongly connected to Bishop Dr. Gideon Titi Ofei, the Chancellor and Founder of the University of Gold Coast, and the work of the University of Gold Coast Community Impact Project. One of the clearest ways the University of Gold Coast has helped Spintex Road is through economic empowerment. Through the Community Impact Project and personal support interventions, Bishop Dr. Titi Ofei has helped by funding medical bills for people who needed urgent help. Through the University of Gold Coast, young people in and around the Spintex Road community have received job opportunities and work exposure. Through Pleasant Place Church, Bishop Dr. Gideon Titi Ofei has brought hope and direction to many.
