70 th KONONGO ODUMASE SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL CLEAN UP

The journey of clean up started from the school grounds to Konongo Odumase township and its environs. This was as part of the school’s KONONGO ODUMASE SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL 70th anniversary celebration. The school’s management, in collaboration with DORIS GYAMO FOUNDATION and GESA organized a cleanup exercise and a mini durbar afterward. The motive of the durbar was to impact students most especially on the promotion of sanitation. The cleanup exercise was held also at the ASANTE AKYIM CENTRAL MUNICAPAL HOSPITAL, which served as a grand opening for the newly built hospital. A mini durbar was also held after the cleanup exercise; this was to educate students on sanitation.

CULTURE OF GHANA

Ghana’s culture is a beautiful blend of tradition, unity, and creativity. Rooted in respect, community living, and environmental harmony, our culture teaches that cleanliness and responsibility are part of good character.

From the colorful Kente cloth of the Ashanti, the royal Adinkra symbols that express wisdom and morals, to the vibrant drumming and dancing of the Ga, Ewe, and Dagomba people — Ghana’s culture celebrates life, nature, and togetherness.

Our festivals — such as Homowo, Aboakyir, Hogbetsotso, and Damba — honor the earth, harvest, and ancestral heritage, reminding us to care for the land that sustains us.

Through the Clean Ghana Agenda, we connect these timeless values with modern action — keeping our surroundings clean, our environment protected, and our heritage alive for generations to come.Cleanliness is not just an act; it is part of who we are as Ghanaians.

GHANA- "INDEPENDENCE GATEWAY OF AFRICA"

Ghana, known as the “Gateway to West Africa,” is a nation rich in history, culture, and potential. Below is a narrative you can place in your About section to anchor your “Keep Ghana Clean” agenda in national pride and identity.

A Nation Freed — Independence & Early Leadership

Ghana formally broke free from British colonial rule on 6 March 1957, becoming the first sub-Saharan African country to gain independence.  On 1 July 1960, Ghana became a Republic, and Kwame Nkrumah, the leader of the independence movement, assumed the presidency. 

Since then, Ghana has seen many leaders who shaped its destiny. Below is a simplified lineage of some of the key presidents.

PRESIDENTIAL HIERARCHY

  • First President: Kwame Nkrumah (1960–1966) 

  • Second President: Joseph Arthur Ankrah — following a coup in 1966, he became head of state in a military regime. 

  • Third President: Akwasi Afrifa (1969-1970) in transitional governance roles. 

  • Fourth President: Edward Akufo-Addo (1970–1972) under the second republic’s constitutional dispensation. 

In the modern Fourth Republic (from 1993 to date), Ghana has had multiple democratically elected presidents, including Jerry Rawlings, John Kufuor, John Atta Mills, John Mahama, and Nana Akufo-Addo.

As of January 2025, John Dramani Mahama is serving his third term as president — having first assumed office in 2012, and returning following the 2024 election.

Land, People & Economy

  • Land area: Ghana covers about ~238,533 km² of land.

  • Population: As of 2024, the estimated population is about 34.4 million people. In 2024, Ghana’s GDP was approximately US$82.83 billion.

Weaving Ghana’s Legacy into Our Mission

When you speak of Keep Ghana Clean, you are not just promoting environmental care — you are engaging with the story of a nation that has fought for sovereignty, cultivated leadership, and aspires toward sustainable development. This agenda honors Ghana’s identity: its diverse people, its landscapes, and its future possibilities.
