Who We Are
A history of love, resilience and shared vision.
On April 15, 2020, three mothers and a father gathered at the Alliance Française Accra cafeteria. United by their shared experience of raising children with Down syndrome, they envisioned a future where individuals with Down syndrome would be accepted and empowered. That vision sparked the birth of DSAG — today our work reaches families in all 16 regions of Ghana.
"Inclusion Means…" — our WDSD story.
Filmed for World Down Syndrome Day, this short film shares real voices from individuals, families and professionals across Ghana — and the everyday meaning of inclusion. A few minutes that capture years of community, courage and hope.

Nothing about us, without us.
DSAG is committed to raising a generation of self-advocates — persons with Down syndrome who speak, lead and represent themselves on every stage that matters. Meet two of the young voices we are walking alongside.
Rawan
Daughter of our Chief Operating Officer, Jinan — we are walking with Rawan as she grows into one of Ghana's next leading self-advocates for Down syndrome.
Levan
A self-advocate who writes and performs his own poetry — using his voice to challenge stigma and show the world what people with Down syndrome can achieve.
Join our vibrant DSAG WhatsApp support group.
Our WhatsApp community brings together parents, caregivers, health professionals, therapists, educators and friends from all 16 regions of Ghana. Every question can be asked, every story shared, every issue addressed — and no family ever has to walk this journey alone.

Voices of DSAG
Stories from the families, siblings and caregivers walking with us.
“Walking with DSAG, I have found a family that sees Doreen for who she truly is. The community gives us strength on the hard days and joy on the good ones — we are no longer doing this alone.”
“Todah is pure light. Growing up with her has taught me patience, joy and what it really means to love someone for exactly who they are. DSAG gave us a community that celebrates her every milestone alongside us.”
“Vera is my sister and my hero. Walking beside her at the Buddy Walk, I see how much she loves being seen. DSAG has built a space where she is celebrated, not pitied and that has changed our whole family.”
“Cayden is my whole heart. Every smile, every breakthrough is a reminder that he is exactly who he is meant to be. With DSAG behind us, I know we are never walking this journey alone.”
“Lester has taught me what it really means to be a father. DSAG has given him friends, confidence and a stage to shine on, and given me a brotherhood of fathers walking the same path.”
“Working with Squishy and every child who walks through our doors is the greatest honour of my life. Volunteering with DSAG has shown me that real change is built in the small, faithful moments of showing up for one another.”
“As both a mother and an organiser, I have watched DSAG grow from a small circle of families into a national movement. Every programme we run is a promise that no parent in Ghana will walk this journey alone, and every child will be seen, heard and celebrated.”
“Alexis reminds me every day that ability comes in many forms. She has found her voice, her friends and her confidence. We are proud of her and proud to walk with DSAG community.”
“Holding our daughter's hand at the WDSD walk, surrounded by other families who understand, was a moment we will never forget. This community turns isolation into belonging.”
