Family

In traditional communities in Ghana, every child is a treasured element of the society irrespective of how it was conceived.

Being young or old, the Ghanaian belongs to a large family. Family in Ghana, goes beyond spouse and children. There are parents, siblings, uncles, cousins, aunts, grand-parents and great grand-relations. Behind every Ghanaian, there is the extended family which is a source of strenght and assuarance. In times of difficulty, they all share the cost of relief and also share the times of joy together.United we stand.
