Gloria Acquah moved to Kokrobite with her family in 2013. The beautiful fishing community attracts lots of tourists from all over the world but the local people are poor. As one raised by a single mom, in peri-urban Ghana, Gloria knew at first hand what risks face young girls and boys in this beautiful community.

As her way of giving back, she decided to start Dignity Plus Foundation, an organisation that will be dedicated to helping some of the world’s most vulnerable come out of poverty with dignity. As big as her dreams are, she knew she had to start small so her maiden project was to start a Girl’s Club in Langma, another fishing village, right next to Kokrobite where she lives. The success of the Girl’s Club motivated the boys in the school we came asking if she could help them start a club too.

Gloria has a Master’s Degree in Human Resource Development and a Bachelor’s in Educational Psychology.  As an experienced educator and Special Needs Education professional, she’s been committed to helping club members get the best professional interventions possible.
