​Dear Members of the Ghanaian Community, Friends, and Supporters,

 

It is with great pride and purpose that I bring you warm greetings on behalf of the Ghana National Council of Chicago (GNC)—the umbrella organization representing the interests, culture, and aspirations of Ghanaians in the Greater Chicago area. Since its founding, the GNC has served as a vital pillar of unity and progress within our community. Our mission is clear: to promote Ghanaian culture, empower our people through education and engagement, and provide a collective voice for the Ghanaian diaspora in Chicago and beyond.

 

The Council offers a wide range of benefits to the public. Through our cultural programs such as Ghanafest, educational initiatives, youth mentorship, immigration awareness forums, and collaboration with local and international partners, we continue to build bridges that connect our people to opportunity, identity, and a shared future.

 

Our member associations span the diverse ethnic and regional backgrounds of Ghana, working together under one united vision. The strength of the Council lies in this collective spirit—where differences are celebrated, and common goals pursued with passion and purpose. I encourage every Ghanaian and friend of Ghana to get involved. Whether through attending our events, volunteering, joining an affiliate association, or simply staying informed, your participation matters. Together, we can uplift our community, preserve our rich heritage, and create lasting impact for generations to come.

 

As President, I remain deeply committed to transparency, inclusivity, and the advancement of our people. Let us continue to stand together, support one another, and build a vibrant legacy that reflects the best of who we are.

 

Thank you for your continued trust and support.

 

Yɛda mo ase.

May God bless you all, and may God bless Ghana and the United States of America.

 

Sincerely,

Mr. Kassim Abubakari, President 
Ghana National Council of Chicago
