SAVE-Ghana is a local NGO founded in 2004 and legally by the registrar generals department in 2008 with registration number G-24859. The organization originally evolved as a Youth Action Club (YAC) led by a group of enthusiastic young school leavers who shared a vision of fostering community development by marshalling the youth to initiate actions that will contribute to the overall development process of their communities particularly in the Sissala West and East Districts. Due to the vision and ingenuity of its founding members, YAC was transformed from a community based youth club to a vibrant and proactive local Ghanaian NGO operating in the northern regions of Ghana.
SAVE-Ghana works with rural and deprived communities with a focus on promoting the quality delivery of basic social services including education, health, women economic empowerment, sustainable livelihoods for all as well as safe-guarding the rights of women and children in deprived communities.
The vision of SAVE-Ghana is a free society where the dignity of all persons is realized. SAVE-Ghana’s mission is to work with vulnerable and poverty stricken communities and families and to ensure that people everywhere have the right and opportunity to live a good life.
