My name is Vivian Ninson, and I am honored to serve as the Secretary of Sankoboa Ghana. As a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), I have dedicated my career to caring for others, promoting health and wellness, and advocating for individuals and families in need.

Through my professional experience in healthcare, I have developed strong skills in communication, organization, documentation, patient education, and teamwork. These skills allow me to effectively support the mission and operations of Sankoboa Ghana while helping to build meaningful connections within the communities we serve.

Service has always been important to me. I am passionate about giving back through volunteer work and community outreach efforts that improve the lives of others. I believe that access to education, healthcare, and community support are essential foundations for long-term success and well-being.

As Secretary of Sankoboa Ghana, I am responsible for maintaining organizational records, documenting meetings, supporting communication among board and committee members, and helping ensure that our organization operates efficiently and effectively.

I am deeply committed to Sankoboa Ghana’s vision of empowering communities through education, preventive health initiatives, and sustainable development.

I am honored to contribute to the fundraisers organized by the Sankoboa Ghana nonprofit organization that supports the educational and medical needs of children in Ghana. It is a double bonus to be able to enjoy the delicious food that Sis Vivian and her family makes to raise money and awareness to support the needs in vulnerable communities.
