Who We Are

In the heart of everyday table conversation, where memories of home lingered and the love for a cherished town echoed, the Asankrangwa Kroye Kuo was born. The organization's roots trace back to a pivotal conversation held between Ms. Gradis Addai, her daughters, and Mrs. Alberta Amoo Boakye as they reminisced about Asankrangwa and pondered ways to support and uplift the community they held dear.

United by a shared passion for their hometown, Ms. Addai and Mrs. Amoo Boakye reached out to fellow natives of Asankrangwa, connecting through informal phone calls that resonated with a common goal—to make a meaningful impact on the place they all loved. The response was overwhelming, as individuals from various backgrounds and professions expressed a deep desire to contribute to the development and well-being of Asankrangwa.

The Asankrangwa Kroye Kuo emerged as a beacon of hope and unity from these impassioned discussions and informal phone calls. Recognizing the positive impact of diaspora communities supporting their homelands, the organization was founded to foster development, empower local initiatives, and improve the overall quality of life in Asankrangwa.

Taking formal steps to solidify their commitment, the Asankrangwa Kroye Kuo became a registered organization in Virginia, USA obtaining a coveted 501(c)(3) status determination from the Internal Revenue Service. This status affirmed their dedication to charitable causes and provided a framework for sustainable growth and impactful projects.

The inaugural fundraising ball, held at the Knight of Columbus of Mt. Vernon, Alexandria, Virginia on June 10, 2017, marked a historic moment for the Asankrangwa Kroye Kuo. It was an evening of celebration, bringing together members, supporters, and friends, all united by a common purpose. The event raised funds for the organization's initiatives and served as a platform to share the vision for Asankrangwa's future.
