Partners
Together with our diverse partners, we organise projects on eye level and work together for a better world in which equal opportunities, tolerance and access to education are not foreign concepts.

Ghana Partners
The German-Ghanaian Friendship Association has three partner organisations in Ghana with whom we have cooperation agreements. It is important to us that the partnership is conducted on eye level, which is why both sides have equal rights in this matter and can make suggestions for further development.
German-Ghanaian Friendship Association Kumasi
The GGFA is our Ghanaian sister organisation, which was founded in 2007 and celebrated its official inauguration on 3rd October 2008. It is currently responsible for the operations of the German Ghanaian International School in Denchemouso.
Ghana Volunteers Accra
Volu, as Ghana Volunteers is abbreviated, is a Ghanaian organization that was born with the founding of the Republic of Ghana. Every year, teenagers and young adults from all over the world come to Ghana to work together with Ghanaians on work camps ranging from drumming to building health stations.
