Publisher's Synopsis
Alhaji Yusif Ibrahim is a real 'slumdog millionaire.' His life is a compelling tale, a truly African story of a self-made entrepreneur and philanthropist who parlayed business savvy, hard work, dedication, discipline, resilience, tenacity, courage, and a streak of scrupulousness into a business empire traversing various sectors.
Alhaji was born in Kumasi Zongo in southern Ghana during World War II, back when that district was still poor and teeming with predominantly Muslim immigrants from northern Ghana striving to survive. Against all odds, Alhaji and his wife, Hajia Rabi Ibrahim, established and expanded the Dara Salam Group of Companies. This inspiring life narrative shows that it is one thing to affect society with one's brilliant and innovative entrepreneurial ideas but quite another to change society for the better through acts of philanthropy, as demonstrated by Alhaji throughout his life, particularly for the Kumasi Zongo community in need.
