About us

Brother and sister team, Shiame and Naa Okunor, decided to help break the cycle of poverty in Ghana - caused, in part, by lack of education, in honor of their father, an ardent advocate for universal education. With funds from Shiame, ex-UNM President Louis Cadera, Mr. & Mrs. Harrison Virginia, and Mrs. Marsha Hademan, they established THE GHANA FREE COMMUNITY LIBRARY in Adabraka, their old neighborhood. This neighborhood is without community centers, soccer fields, or after-school programs for the youth. The library is for the future leaders of Ghana - our youth - and the world itself.
