“The more I work in development, the more I realise that there are small agencies doing some fantastic work in Ghana. But because these agencies are not working in high profile, well-funded areas, such as HIV/AIDS, or do not have the resources to plan their development strategically, their hard work is not being given the due recognition. “
“Akropong School for the Blind is a testament to the tenacity and drive of students who continue to show that despite their disabilities, they can lead normal and successful lives. I believe this is the sentiment that other communities can use to strive for an improved quality of life.”
“It is important for businesses to focus on corporate social responsibility and their community citizen positioning. UWG is positioned to make this easier for any corporate entity in Ghana.”
"I am a committed Moslem and believe that in giving my time, expertise or money to help the needy I am not only satisfying requirements of my faith but I am also supporting the sustainable development of my country. I am proud to be a part of United Way Ghana because it supports initiatives that are geared towards giving disenfranchised communities the tools to support themselves. It is these acts of kindness that contribute to the positive development of individuals, communities and our nation.”
“I am passionate about helping to bring positive change in the lives of the less privileged through an organisation that looks at very critical components; health, education and income generation, necessary in bringing about development in our society”.
“I am interested in supporting citizens’ empowerment and capacity building in our society and UWG is one of the
best means through which these issues can best be addressed. I am indeed proud to be associated with a not-
for-profit organisation that has interest in building the human capacity of our communities”
“I am passionate about promoting locally owned development interventions by helping to promote and build a strong civil society leadership within local communities and United Way Ghana provides the ideal platform to harness the potential in volunteers in this development agenda”
“UWG gives me an opportunity to bring my professional expertise to bear on people who need it the most; our
less privileged in society and I am very happy to be doing just that”
“As an entrepreneur and a member of the governing council of UWG, I am always excited when there is an
opportunity to mentor the youth in our community through United Way Ghana and to educate the general public on
the need for proper maintenance of their bodies through exercises and a proper health care”
“The world is filled with NGOs but United Way Ghana represents a different type of non-government organisation and it is up to us to show the public how effectively and efficiently we work. For me, what gives me satisfaction is being able to change impact on someones life in a very fundamental way that makes a lifelong difference..”
