WFWP Ghana Community Outreach

By: Marthe Whyte

On July 26th and August 10th, 2024, two teams from WF-Ghana visited Coleman and Manchie in the Greater Accra Region to engage with women’s groups and introduce them to the organization's vision and mission, with the aim of registering new associate members and work together to promote peace and development in the community. 

During the first visit, Mrs. Vivian Nkasia, the General Secretary, and Mrs. Emelia Adofo, the Vice President, served as resource persons. Mrs. Nkasia delivered a speech, which was translated by a local community member. Approximately 40 women attended the meeting.

For the second visit, the WF team included four Executive members. Mrs. Marthe Whyte, the Chapter President, addressed the women, focusing on family values before elaborating on the mission and vision of WF. Around 35 women participated in this gathering. Currently, these communities have about 120 associate members.
