Stuart Gold

Stuart Gold is a founder member of Trashy Bags Project, Stuart’s background was in architecture where he qualified in the UK in 1980 and practiced for seven years before specializing in computer database applications.  In the 90’s he began working on the development of Internet software technology in both the UK and USA.

Stuart Gold came to Ghana in early 2006 and began Trashy Bags in 2007.

Stuart’s belief is that solutions to many of Africa’s problems can be found in Africa by Africans. However one of the major problems is their lack of confidence in their own ability to innovate and make products that the world wants to buy.

He believes that Trashy Bags is a potent example of what can be achieved by applying a deeper understanding of the issues at stake and then “thinking out of the box” without the requirement for large investment.
