Today Global Citizen, the world’s leading international advocacy organisation, announced a partnership with five non-profit organisations based across Ghana, as part of its forthcoming Move Afrika: Ghana campaign. The partnership aims to support each NGO’s mission and enable the non-profit partner organisations to scale their work across the country and globally.
The non-profit partners were selected based on their reach, demonstrated impact, presence across diverse regions in Ghana, and focus particularly in the areas of women’s and children’s health. Through this collaboration, Global Citizen aims to promote and amplify the capacity of these organisations to further their missions and enhance their impact both locally and globally.
Move Afrika focuses on achieving the Sustainable Development Goals through strengthening social and economic development, job creation and supporting non-profit organisations to drive local impact. As part of these partnerships, Global Citizen’s partner organisations gain visibility and exposure to advance their work across the country and amplify their impact locally and globally.
Global Citizen’s local non-profit partners are:
Alliance for African Women Initiative (AFAWI) is a Ghanaian organisation, striving to narrow gender gaps and create opportunity and prosperity to empower women and children in Ghana for over 16 years. AFAWI takes a holistic approach to sustainable development through consulting and collaborating with communities to meet their needs and goals, to ensure projects will bring the most opportunity and success, to empower the communities as a whole.
Alliance for Reproductive Health Rights (ARHR) is a network of Ghanaian Non-Government Organisations (NGOs) promoting a rights-based approach to sexual reproductive health. The ARHR works to ensure the sexual reproductive health (SRH) rights of all people – especially vulnerable groups such as the poor, marginalized and women of reproductive age – are protected and fulfilled irrespective of socioeconomic status, gender or race.
Dikan Center focuses on enhancing the livelihoods of women and children through skill-building and educational programs. By providing vocational training and entrepreneurship opportunities, the center aims to foster economic independence and social empowerment within the communities it serves.
Lilies of the Field Academy is committed to transforming the lives of young girls, boys and at risk families through education, music, and leadership initiatives. As a vital after-school haven for marginalized youth in an impoverished community, the academy tackles critical educational and healthcare needs, while uplifting vulnerable populations and championing sustainable youth development.
The Livingstone Foundation (TLF), established by international musician Stonebwoy, seeks to create a better quality of life for the Ghanaian community through education, youth empowerment, health care and disability justice.
