Ghana

As a very welcoming country, the Republic of Ghana has many stories of resistance and social action to share.

Accra, Jukwa, and Winneba

Our partnership in Ghana began in 2003 with Peace Humanity International, and over the years has developed into a wide network combined of families and organizations, which help shape this unique experience. This experience explores different regions, typically starting in Accra, the capital, and then going to Jukwa, a rural village 20 miles north of Cape Coast, and lastly to Winneba, a historic fishing port about 90 miles east of Cape Coast.
