Our Story
Founded in 1993, the GaDangme Kpee Association of Georgia emerged from a deep desire to maintain cultural connections while building a supportive community for GaDangme people living in Georgia.
What started as informal gatherings among friends and families has grown into a vibrant organization that serves hundreds of members across the state. We organize cultural events, support development projects in Ghana, and provide a home away from home for our members.
Today, we are proud to have completed multiple development projects, raised significant funds for education and healthcare initiatives, and maintained strong cultural traditions that connect us to our roots while embracing our American home.
