About Us

What We Do

GIWA also supports charitable initiatives promoted by Italians residing in Ghana.

The association’s mission is to pursue the well-being of vulnerable populations through humanitarian aid works, supporting the most vulnerable categories, particularly children, women, and marginalized communities, in achieving their aspirations for future sustainability.

GIWA believes that the recognition of human rights contributes to the well-being of all.

Our Goals

Our vision is to empower women, empowering children for an empowered community.

Empowerment

Our primary focus lies in fostering empowerment for women and children, thereby providing them with the means to create a more promising future.

Awareness and Kindness

Our utmost dedication revolves around raising awareness within our communities regarding critical matters, including but not limited to domestic abuse, family planning, disease prevention, sanitation, and numerous other pertinent issues.

Love and Sustainability

By cultivating a sense of love, we can effectively tackle the matter of sustainability as well. Demonstrating genuine affection towards our environment has the potential to mitigate pollution, emissions, and combat the challenges posed by climate change, thereby fostering a harmonious relationship with Mother Nature.

Hope and Change

The process of change is not readily embraced, yet personal growth is impossible without it. By extending our support to the less privileged, orphanages, and various other causes, we instill hope in those who have lost it, offering them a chance for a brighter future.
