About us
WHO WE ARE
A diaspora-driven mission rooted in Ghana
Sankoboa Ghana is a nonprofit founded by a group of the sisters who shared a common vision of service, compassion, and community development. What began as conversations after church services about the challenges facing vulnerable communities in Ghana has grown into a mission-driven organization committed to creating lasting impact through education, healthcare support, poverty alleviation, and community empowerment.
The name Sankoboa is inspired by the Akan philosophy of going back to fetch what is valuable. It reflects our belief that those living in the diaspora have a responsibility to reconnect with their roots and help uplift their communities. Our members are primarily people of African descent in the United States and around the world, with strong ties to Ghana and neighbouring West African countries.
