About Us

Leaving Footprints.

We believe that every person, in every corner of the globe, has the right to social advancement.

Operating since February 2010, the Volta Aid Foundation is a registered non-government organisation at the municipal, regional and national levels.

We are built around the fundamental belief that every person, in every corner of the globe, has the right to social advancement through education, knowledge and empowerment.

Through education, knowledge and empowerment – we owe this service to humanity and to the people of the Volta region. Assisting in a variety of ways, we help people achieve outcomes that change their lives.

From collaborating with local authorities to having strategic partnerships with other organisations – we work to achieve our shared objectives all for the benefit of the Volta Region.

Our Mission:

Our mission is multi-pronged as we seek to:

  1. Impact the lives of fellow human beings by working in unison to teach, give and learn interchangeable skills and to leave footprints for those to follow in the future.
  2. Give hope by utilizing and committing resources to the development and support of local communities and in-need individuals.
  3. Educate and support the future leaders of Ghana through nurturing within the school environment, encouragement in the sphere of society and empowerment through knowledge.
  4. Educate communities, both urban and rural, and implement preventative-based education strategies targeting general first aid and the plethora of other deadly health issues.
