About us

Nka
Foundation (www.nkafoundation.org) is a nonprofit organization run by arts practitioners and volunteers
in Ghana and Burkina Faso. In rural Ghana, we are building a community for the
arts, a living learning arts village designed to bring together creative
persons from around the world to interact with the local community via projects
such as rural architecture, community arts and social services to improve local
livelihood skills to alleviate poverty. Everybody is welcome to our arts
village: Interns and professionals in all of the arts, architecture, design,
social work, engineering, and sustainable development are all welcome to share
expertise.
