Education on the move: Transped and NASCO Feeding Minds join forces

At Transped, we know logistics is far more than moving goods. Behind every shipment there is a purpose, and sometimes that purpose crosses borders and becomes a future. With that vision, our Barcelona office has collaborated with Ousman Umar—founder and CEO of NASCO Feeding Minds and co‑founder of NascoTech—to make it possible for IT equipment to reach schools in Ghana. A joint effort that shows how cooperation and logistics can become tools for social transformation.

Ousman’s story is the clearest example of that transformation. Born in Ghana, he experienced first‑hand the difficulties of growing up without access to technology education. After a harsh migration journey that took him across deserts and seas to Europe, Ousman found a new beginning in Barcelona. There he not only studied, but also developed the idea of giving back to his country what he himself had received: real opportunities to choose a different future. That is how NASCO Feeding Minds was born in 2012—an NGO with offices in Ghana and Barcelona dedicated to reducing the digital divide and providing ICT skills training to thousands of young people.

“We want to save the lives of thousands of people who deserve access to opportunities and information before risking their lives on this journey.”— Ousman Umar, founder of NASCO Feeding Minds

Over the years, NASCO Feeding Minds has created 17 computer classrooms across more than 58 rural schools—training over 6,600 students every year. In these spaces, children and young people don’t just learn how to use a computer; they gain the tools to thrive in an increasingly digital world. The commitment is simple yet powerful: feeding minds instead of feeding impossible dreams.

The initiative doesn’t stop there. In 2021, NascoTech was created, expanding the impact of the original project. Through web development and programming training programs, it prepares Ghanaian youth as full‑stack developers and connects them with European companies. The circle is complete: from learning to turn on a computer at school, to working on international tech projects from Ghana.

Along the way, collaborating with Transped Barcelona has been a key step. Our role has been to ensure that IT equipment in good condition reaches Ghana from Spain, traveling thousands of kilometers to end up in the hands of students who will turn it into a learning tool. It’s not just a shipment: it’s the certainty that a logistics chain can also be a chain of opportunities.

Every container moved can carry something far more valuable: the possibility of changing lives.

Sustainability at Transped, understood as a comprehensive commitment to our environment, also has a social dimension. By supporting projects like NASCO Feeding Minds, we help make education and technology accessible to those who need it most, strengthening communities and preparing them for the future.

Because every container shipped, every cargo secured, and every route designed can carry something far more valuable: the chance to change lives. With this collaboration, we reaffirm our conviction that moving the world also means moving opportunities.
