Connected work
Health Is Wealth: Advancing the Conversation on Breast Cancer
Event Recap | September 2026 | 81st United Nations General Assembly Event
NCOGA YAY joined the Dorothy Hope Foundation (DHF) as an official supporter of the Health Is Wealth Forum, a UN81 side event focused on breast cancer and its impact on communities in Ghana and across the diaspora.
The forum brought forward conversations around the realities and available data surrounding breast cancer, persistent misinformation, and the work diaspora organizations such as DHF are undertaking to strengthen awareness and support.
Our participation provided an opportunity to listen, learn, continue the conversation, and consider how a younger generation of the Ghanaian diaspora can contribute to greater awareness and action.
We Dey! Community Beach Day
July 1, 2027 | Ghana Republic Day
Wherever We Are, We Dey Together.
Launching on Ghana Republic Day, July 1, 2027, We Dey! Community Beach Day is a shared day of reflection, nature, and connection for Ghanaians and friends of the community wherever they may be.
Inspired by the green of Ghana's flag and its representation of the country's natural wealth and vegetation, the day encourages participants to step outside, connect with nature, and take a moment to reflect on Ghana, community, identity, and our connection to one another.
