Ghana is on the coast of West Africa and is known for its rich culture as well as its tropical climate. Currently our Missionaries serve in the Archdiocese of Accra.

ACCRA

The large capital city of Accra is on the Atlantic coast. For several years our Missionaries have worked with the Hope for Life project for the disabled. This project seeks to help the disabled to develop their sense of dignity and to function as independently as possible, including through training and small business projects. Our Missionaries have supported these efforts for adults by pastoral ministry, facilitating the needed care and opportunities, encouraging the staff and administration of the project, and assisting the local informal elementary school by teaching and providing materials.

In the past our Missionaries also worked in Accra with literacy projects for market women, Bible study and ministry to those with leprosy, and with cultural events.

BUDUBURAM

S.M.A. Lay Missionaries also work in Buduburam, a refugee camp for thousands of Liberians outside Winneba, a few miles from Accra. Here efforts are made to help connect refugees with medical and social services as well as to listen to their stories. Assistance is offered to a school for deaf youth at the camp.
