About Us
I’m Gary Heath, one of the Directors and the President of AIDNACTION, a not-for-profit corporation, formed to provide educational, medical, and benevolent assistance to those who need physical assistance. The organization was formed after several of us traveled to Ghana, West Africa, and saw the overwhelming great need that many of the people were experiencing. We have provided thousands of dollars for medical needs, purchased bulk food for families, assisted individuals learning English, established a Christian Vocational Center (currently teaching young ladies to sew), and humanitarian assistance during floods and high winds. We are registered with the Ghana government (AIDNACTION GHANA) and are the only not for profit corporation in the Central Region of Ghana, West Africa.
