To deliver sustainable, community-based health initiatives that prioritise prevention, early detection, equitable access, and long-term resilience, ensuring that no Ghanaian is left behind in the pursuit of health and dignity.
About YIDA INTERNATIONAL
Yireh International Development Agency (YIDA) Ghana LBG is a health-focused social enterprise working at the intersection of public health, social innovation, and community empowerment. We were founded in response to one of Ghana’s most pressing but under-addressed challenges: the rising tide of cardiovascular and non-communicable diseases (NCDs). These conditions now claim nearly half of all lives lost annually. They are silent, chronic, and often preventable.
YIDA’s work is built on a conviction that health equity is central to human dignity and national progress. Our mission is to bridge the gap between policy and people, transforming national health priorities into practical, community-led interventions that save lives and sustain livelihoods. We work with the Ministry of Health, Ghana Health Service, and local partners to deliver health screenings, education, and social enterprise initiatives that empower communities to take charge of their wellbeing.
At YIDA, we believe prevention should not be a privilege — it should be part of everyday life.

OUR VISION
