About Us
Our Story
Thrugh was founded to connect Ghanaians and visitors with trusted local businesses, built on a shared love for Ghana and a commitment to excellence. Our founding team—11 friends who met in 2005 at Cape Coast's AUGUSCO, "The Green Camp"—formed bonds that followed us as we journeyed abroad. Yet, no matter where we went, Ghana was always home. Each return brought excitement but also familiar challenges: finding trustworthy services, navigating unfamiliar options, and fostering a sense of security.
Recognizing this need, we created Thrugh as a bridge for Ghanaians at home and in the diaspora. Our name, "Thrugh," connects Ghana (GH) and the USA (US)—two homes that inspired this platform to connect people and businesses with integrity and trust.
Our team brings together expertise from diverse fields—medicine, project management, digital operations, finance, and more—grounded in high standards and ethical commitment. With backgrounds in biopharma, the U.S. Army, academia, technology, and investment, each team member adds a unique skill set honed through years of dedicated service.
Thrugh is more than a platform; it's our mission to create a trustworthy space for finding services and fostering connections with confidence. We aim to simplify and elevate how people find and interact with businesses in Ghana, building a community where trust and reliability thrive. Through Thrugh, we are bridging Ghana with the world, one trusted connection at a time.
