A Green Project for a Fairer World

CEHDA is an association founded by Ghanaian people living in Catalonia to improve opportunities for migrant communities and support sustainable development in Ghana's Savannah Region.

We weave intercultural networks that help break down stereotypes about migration and promote a more humane global society. Since 2007, we have overcome many obstacles and collectively learned how to accompany, care for, and work together for a fairer world.

"So we got to the plaça and I saw a lot of people and asked them 'where do we have to sleep today?' and they just said, 'anywhere you find'. The first night, I passed in the street."

This lived experience drives our commitment to ensuring no one faces such hardship alone.
