Who We Are

The GUA Friendship Association is dedicated to enhancing the well-being of its members, both here in the United States and within the underserved communities of Ghana. Through initiatives focused on health, education, legal assistance, counseling, and charitable outreach, we extend a helping hand that leaves a lasting impact.
Our support for members knows no bounds – it encompasses financial aid and non-financial assistance during moments of hardship and joy alike.
Similarly, our commitment to the community at large is unwavering. We organize food and clothing drives, along with health and educational fairs, as well as giveaways that make a genuine difference in the lives of those we touch.
Together, we strive to create a meaningful and enduring impact, one that resonates across borders and uplifts lives on both sides of the ocean.
