THE CEDI FOUNDATION

The Cedi Foundation is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization. At the core of our work is identifying and helping to deliver health services, equipment and resources, and health educational campaigns to meet the community’s needs. We understand that the medical community in Ghana, and indeed all over West Africa face hurdles of ever-evolving standards of care, despite the unprecedented need and rising expectations. We committed to taking our observation one step further to make a lasting impact in the health and wellness of local communities in Ghana.

Ghana’s local currency is the Cedi, and simply, we believe that a just a cedi can make a difference. We know this, because we have done it and continue to affect lives every day with a little help. 
Whether it is a simple financial assistance or repurposing unused but valuable medical supplies and equipment to assist medical facilities in remote regions, we are inspired by the difference every simple act can make.
