The Gladys Ayebea Hammond Foundation (GAH Foundation) is a registered non-governmental charity in Ghana under the Companies Act, 2019 (Act 992). We are committed to empowering underprivileged girls by creating opportunities for social mobility through sports and education.
Founded in November 2022, GAH Foundation was established in honour of the late Madam Gladys Ayebea Hammond. Though she did not have the opportunity for formal education, she demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to learning by ensuring all seven of her children were educated. Her belief in the life-changing power of education and sport continues to inspire our work today.
We use sport, particularly hockey, as a tool to inspire, educate, and empower young girls. Our core programs include:
What began as a small initiative with 40 girls from two schools in Suhum has grown into a thriving movement:
Our annual hockey tournament, held every November, continues to attract increasing participation and community support each year.
Our primary aim is to support girls aged 13 to 18 in completing their secondary education and successfully transitioning into tertiary education and/or meaningful career pathways. We are committed to equipping young girls with the tools, confidence, and opportunities they need to build brighter futures.
