About This Cause

Woforo Foundation Inc. is a registered US 501(c)(3) non-profit that focuses its giving in Ghana. Woforo is coined from an Akan adinkra symbol and proverb “Woforo dua pa a na yepia wo” . Translated literally as “It is when you climb a good tree that we push you.” We cannot and should not overlook the young African woman or child, particularly, in any social mission targeted towards inclusive global economic development and advancement. Their access to and knowledge of life skills that enable better economic choices must be a basic right, not a privilege! GETTING INVOLVED At Woforo, we get the warm fuzzies (put in professional terms…” most impactful”) when our giving contributes towards making one person’s future more hopeful. If you could create the kind of change in the world over the next 1, 10, 20 years, what would the impact look like? What could skipping that $15 cup of Starbucks or that annual $500 birthday gift to yourself, mean for a Ghanaian woman or child’s future?
