The fast improving economies of developing countries including Ghana is linked to the cultural diversity of these countries. In Ghana for example, the cultural values are held in high esteem. Culture has been defined severally by different authors. The most interesting aspect of the definition which the Yanaglo Ventures cherishes most is “The continually changing patterns of learned behaviour and the products of learned behaviour, which are shared and transmitted among members of society”. Products of learned behaviour include material objects (e.g. artefacts, clothing, schools, churches etc.) and non-material objects (e.g. attitudes, values, language etc.). It is from these material and non-material objects that the Yanaglo Ventures developed to preserve and improve upon the already existing ones with special reference to music and social artefacts. The Company is a dynamic, creative, expressive group of people constantly contributing to the cultural components of life at home and abroad.

Yanaglo Ventures originally started as a cultural troupe to advance the material aspects of our culture that we inherited from our parents. It then gradually developed into a business venture, incorporating production and export of the material aspects of our culture into the world.  It is now envisaged that a craft village be built to give more touch to the business to attract investors both local and foreign.

2.    Our Business Philosophy
Our business is dedicated to the production of a good quality, inexpensive African Artefacts and Traditional Musical Instruments that will improve the lives of our customers, both locally and international, bringing the spirit of Africanism to our brothers. The company does not encourage child labour or any form of cheap labour and is gender sensitive.

 

3.    Our Vision
The company is a limited liability and it has a staff of about 35 personnel for both the cultural group and the production group. The vision is to build a craft village, to include a factory and to create more employment and poverty alleviation in and around the craft village for about 200 personnel for the next immediate years.
