Welcome to GWAG!
Headquartered in Atlanta, the Ghanaian Women's Association of Georgia (GWAG) is a 501(c)(3) organization that promotes entrepreneurship for minority women in Georgia, and empowers women in underserved communities in Ghana by supporting initiatives in healthcare and education that create a positive social impact.
We share the belief that when a woman is empowered, she invests her knowledge and resources in her children, family and eventually, her community.
Drawing strength from our talents, skills, resources, and diversity, we seek to establish a thriving, engaged and visible Ghanaian community in Georgia while providing a platform for engaging in activities geared towards sustaining personal, professional, and community development.
