We believe that no child should live in an institution.

Who we are at Ghan abc?
We are a Catalan Association located in Barcelona at Carrer de l’Encarnació, 43, 1r 1a
Registered at the Registry of Associations of the Generalitat de Catalunya under numberG67606574.
Our aim is to make people know the reality of vulnerable children and orphans in Ghana, specifically in the Koforidua area, and to help them live with their families and have a good education without the need to leave their country.
We also believe that no child should live in an institution.

WHAT DO WE DO IN CATALONIA?
to give visibility to the reality of the children of Ghana and create awareness.

Awareness
We try to raise awareness amongst children in Catalan schools on the living conditions of children in Koforidua (Ghana).

Invigoration
We spread Ghanaian culture in schools through storytelling, singing songs and sharing the local traditions by organizing different kinds of workshops.

Consciousness
We make the new generations understand that Africa must not be seen as a container where we can throw away those things we do no longer want.

Disclosure
We organize talks and lectures in neighbourhood associations and companies in order to inform them about the reality of children in Koforidua (Ghana).

Thorough monitoring of children at school.

Local culture
Recovery of games, traditional tales, legends and songs from their own country.

Craft making
The children at school discovered a new way to express themselves through the mud.

Theatre
Theatre activities and short performances with Ghanaian works, dance and singing.

Library
In the new school building we have reserved a space for a library. It will be set up in such a way that there is room also for relaxation and practising quiet table games.
While we arrange the library, we take them to the Koforidua library.

Gymkhanas and sports games
Fridays in Ghanaian schools are dedicated to these activities and we collaborate with them by teaching them the traditional games of Catalonia (“Steal the Flingsock”, “Hopscotch,” “Granny's Footsteps”, etc)

Testimonis

Hola sóc la Mercy, sóc perruquera i visc a Koforidua amb la meva familia. Al 2015 em vaig casar amb el Mensah i llavors vaig saber que tenia un fill de dos anys que vivia en un orfenat. Juntament amb el que actualment és l’associació Solidària Ghan abc vam aconseguir que aquest nen, el Mishel, visqui amb nosaltres i estigui escolaritzat a Eastfield Academy. El Mishel ara és un nen feliç ha retrobat el seu pare i jo en sóc la seva mare. L’Associació ens ha ajudat a millorar la nostra qualitat de vida (hem pogut canviar de casa, dormim en matalassos, rebem assistència mèdica i sobretot sabem que els nostres fills podran escollir el seu futur). Al 2018 vam poder donar una germaneta al Mishel, la baby Laura a qui l’associació també paga la seva escolarització.
