Our Journey of Unity and Development
For over 30 years, the Gonjaland Association of North America (GANA) has brought together Gonjas living across the U.S. — from New York to Atlanta — in a shared mission of unity, cultural pride, and progress.
Through our vibrant community and strong leadership, we support distressed members, foster friendships, and mobilize resources to drive development across Gonjaland in Ghana.
