Yonkofa means Friendship in Twi. We build clinics and ship medical supplies to under-served areas.

The Yonkofa Project aims to bring healthcare to underserved areas of world, with a special focus on Western Ghana. People who live in medically underserved areas suffer from diseases that are largely treatable and/or preventable. The first Yonkofa Clinic broke ground in 2011, with four additional sites now developed. Our model provides for small, modern clinics, and housing for medical personnel. This allows Ghanaian medical professionals to work in their own villages, and use their medical training to serve their own people.
