The Akumanyi Foundation is a 501c3 non-profit that was founded in 2014 by Hannah Bonacci and Francis Akumanyi. The Akumanyi Foundation works to improve the lives and the living conditions of vulnerable youth and women through building collaborative relationships that inspire economic development initiatives and cultivate global citizenship with the goal of achieving self-sustainability for the individuals we serve.
To accomplish these goals, we collaborate with our partners in Ghana to create empowerment projects that are tailored to the unique needs, strengths, and dreams of our partners. Through these empowerment intiatives, we are able to work towards self-sustainability for our partners. Additionally, we utilize volunteer support through individual and group volunteering opportunitites.
Our volunteers live on or near our service-sites, and serve as helping hands to our partners through helping with daily needs and working on special projects as needed. Our volunteers immerse in Ghanaian culture, bond with our partners, learn about their strengths and needs, and have the opportunity to engage with the sustainable projects at each partner site.
