About Us
Welcome to the Ghana Resident Association!
We are a group of Ghanaian citizens living in the Kansai area of Japan who have come together to promote patriotism, brotherliness, unity, and camaraderie among our community. Our main goal is to serve as a forum for effective information sharing among members and to provide financial and humanitarian support to those in need.
In addition to supporting our own members, we also have a strong commitment to giving back to our home country. We generate funds to undertake development projects in deprived communities in Ghana to help make a positive impact on those who need it most.
Membership of the Association is open to all Ghanaians, their spouses, and children living in the Kansai area in Japan. We welcome you to join us and become a part of our community. Together, we can make a difference in both our adopted home and our home country.
