I am now an inventor.
Promise was inspired to pick up his dream of becoming an inventor after partaking in the CoRe Mentoring programme. He has since been able to successfully develop an incubator for hatching eggs and a gadget regulator, also known as a stabilizer. He shares his story.
My name is Promise Dzidedi Fiadzigbey, I joined the CoRe programme as a YIEDIE beneficiary. One of the very prominent benefits of this programme to me is that it has helped me discover my talent and come out with my own inventions. I first conceptualized this project (an emergency call system) in 2017/18 but it was stalled because I lacked the needed resources and was not prepared to run at a loss. I had a lot of discouraging comments from close friends and associates, but the narrative has been different ever since I encountered the CoRe Programme.
I have successfully developed an incubator for hatching eggs and a gadget regulator (also known as a stabilizer). I listened to Rev. Albert Ocran’s audio on Talent Discovery and one other on staying focused, and that was enough to propel me to do what I am currently engaged in.
I must say that much work and thorough research has been conducted leading to the development of those inventions, especially the egg incubator – to help farmers in my locality. The programme has also helped me build strategic alliances, where I have partnered with a colleague from the Accra Technical University in working on these inventions even through virtual platforms. Obviously, it has been a tough journey.
Glory be to God and a big Thank You to the promoters of the programme especially Rev. Albert Ocran, Comfort Ocran and Mr. Eric Otchere who was very supportive when it came to putting my project together.
