About Us

Our Name and Legal basis

GaDangme International, Inc. (North America) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit 509(a)(1) charitable organization incorporated in the State of Delaware in 2005, with offices and operations in the United States and Ghana. We are a community-based organization dedicated to reducing poverty through development of the under-privileged areas of South Eastern Ghana by promoting education, health, housing and jobs development projects and programs in those areas. We are popularly known as GDI.

 Our Beliefs

There are three fundamental or core beliefs that guide our activities and programs:

 1. The belief that in all societies, extensive improvements in families’ health, work, income levels, and children’s education are vital for sustainable development and advancement;

 2. Over the last three decades, there has been substantial growth in disease status, mortality, unemployment, poverty, and illiteracy rates among the indigenous people living in the South Eastern areas of Ghana.

3. The indigenous people of the South Eastern areas of Ghana currently do not have the wherewithal and adequate resources to change this trend without help and assistance from the more privileged living in and outside the area.

These beliefs are the bases of our vision and mission.

 Our Vision

A world in which for the indigenous people of South Eastern Ghana, health status is improved (less than 15% reporting ill and missed activity in previous 2 weeks), unemployment is less than 10 percent, mean annual household incomes are higher than 3,000 cedis, adult literacy rates are higher than 85 percent, school completion and graduation rates are higher than 95 percent.

This vision inspires and motivates us to contribute and strive to achieve the following mission:
