Who We Are

Our Story

It was a bright sunny day; a bit of chillness was still there in the morning air, an unlikely March. Our founder being a pre-med student at Cornell University, was born and raised in rural Ghana and lived there until the age of 19. He was elated about his career path and prospects, though felt guilt, commonality, and kinship with those he'd left behind.

Parts of his family, friends, and community in Ghana have zero access to health care and won't seek it unless the circumstances are life and death. Our founder knew that he had to do something and thus began his journey to help the people of Ghana.
