Gifty Nkansah has been a Registered Nurse for almost 10 years and is a graduate of The University of Health and Allied Sciences at Ho. She has worked in the diabetic clinic for 8 years in both patient care and education management. She has experience in medical and surgical nursing, pediatric, home nursing, obstetrics and gynecological nursing. In her own words, “Working with diabetics at the clinic has given me the joy of assisting patients to recover successfully from their ailments--also providing the education necessary to empower themselves to overcome the challenges associated with diabetes.”  Gifty is passionate about the work she does and is currently the head of the Diabetic Clinic at Ho Municipal Hospital. She serves as the Coordinator of VIMA’s Rural Health Outreach (RHO) program--which aims to identify and assist deprived orphaned children. RHO also works with the local VIMA team to identify, verify, and qualify patients for  RHO intervention program. We are thankful for the vital role she has with VIMA and very grateful for her dedication to helping and educating the poor and the needy

Helping Children in Africa

The story of VIMA

A 7 year old orphan boy in Ghana, Africa was given his first ever pair of shoes. These shoes allowed him to make the long walk to school. Beyond an education which was sponsored by a German missionary visiting his village, his shoes gave him confidence and hope. Those shoes lead him into a job which took him to America. Now through VIMA he gives shoes, clothing, medical supplies, confidence and hope to the children in Ghana and beyond.
