By Kofi A. Dankwah, Assistant Director for Financial Management and Planning
Due to the hardship I endured during my childhood days, it has always been my wish to give back to the community I left back home. With that in mind, I did not hesitate when I was called upon to take the mantle as the chairman of the Board of this hardworking association called Kwahuman Association of New York.
Kwahuman Association of New York, (KANY) is a cultural organization comprising of Kwahu citizens living in the tri-state area, with a membership of about 5000. Kwahu is in the eastern part of Ghana West Africa and the NY association has been in existence for the last 30 years.
Renovated maternity ward in Ghana
As part of the association’s development projects in Ghana, we renovated the maternity ward of the Kwahu Government hospital at Atibie-Kwahu. This hospital is the main hospital in the Kwahu area that serves a population of about 230,000 people. We also renovated the Pepease Township Library and gave it back to the citizens. This work gives me great satisfaction and pride.
