Ben KettorDestiny Hands was founded by Benjamin Saah Kettor (or Ben as he is known to his friends). In the early 90’s, our founder became a refugee due to a civil war in his home country of Liberia. This war would last for 14 years. During this time, some would be shocked to hear that while he was in exile, a small donation of only one dollar (US$ 1.00) gave him the opportunity to learn essential computer skills at a vocational training center operated by the International Rescue Committee (IRC).  This opportunity would not only provide Benjamin with the tools he would need during his future educational and professional careers, but it also landed him his first job, at a program in Gueckedou, Republic of Guinea operated by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the German Organization for International Cooperation (GIZ). 

After spending time working with several other humanitarian organizations, Benjamin would eventually find himself in America. Over that time, he would start a family, go to school, and enhance his career never forgetting what initially changed his life, one dollar. With that in mind (and the help of his family, mentors, and confidants), Benjamin realized that his passion could only be achieved through the lens of helping others. That’s when he decided he would do his best to pay-it-forward by creating Destiny Hands.
