Many members of the Ghanaian community are available to share cross-cultural ideas and make presentations to schools, churches, business groups and community-based organizations. In 1998, an organization known as the Ghana Association of Pittsburgh (GHAP) was formed to provide a forum for promoting cultural and educational programs to enhance the quality of life of its members and other residents of the region. The organization offers assistance to members in times of need, and contributes to the development of Ghana. Its activities are open to the public.
The Ghanaian community is made up of families and individuals totaling over 100 people residing in the greater Pittsburgh area. Ghanaians in the Southwestern Pennsylvania region contribute to the development, growth and cultural enrichment of the area as businessmen and women, educators, transportation operators, healthcare providers and other professionals.
