Dedicated professionals committed to transforming education and creating opportunities for children across Ghana.
The visionary leader who started it all and continues to inspire our mission.
Founder & Executive Director
Emmanuel Adika Benedict founded Child Survival Aid Ghana in 2000 with a simple yet powerful vision: to ensure that every child in rural Ghana has access to quality education, regardless of their economic circumstances.
Born and raised in a rural village in Ghana, Emmanuel Adika Benedict experienced firsthand the challenges that children face when educational opportunities are limited. After completing his education and working in international development, he returned to Ghana with a mission to create lasting change.
“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world,” says Emmanuel Adika Benedict. “When I see the smiles on children's faces as they receive their first books or enter a newly built classroom, I know we're making a real difference.”
Under Emmanuel Adika Benedict's leadership, CSAG has grown from a small community initiative to an organization that has impacted hundreds of thousands of lives across Ghana. His dedication to educational equity and community development continues to inspire our work every day.
Volunteers, donors, and partners are vital in transforming lives, and hearing directly from those who have experienced this impact firsthand can be incredibly powerful and inspiring.
