The Ga community has celebrated distinguished individuals whose contributions have significantly impacted societal growth and development at the Ga Awards and Dinner Night, held on Saturday, January 10, 2026.
The event, which took place at the Wesley Methodist Cathedral near Makola in Accra, brought together traditional leaders, professionals, community members and other stakeholders to recognise Ga personalities noted for their leadership, dedication and selfless service.
Speaking at the ceremony, organisers said the initiative was established to acknowledge Ga men and women whose contributions often go unrecognised despite their impact in areas such as education, culture, business, public service and community development.
They added that the awards are also intended to inspire younger generations within the Ga community to play active roles in social and economic progress.
Several individuals were honoured on the night. Hannah Aku Garshong, founder of Jewish Preparatory School, now Peyton Academy, received the Lifetime Achievement Award in Education. Madam Peggy Naa Ayikailey Adamafio, founder and president of Relief and Aid International, was presented with the Community Impact Award, while Jonathan Baddoo of Base Pharmacy was named Entrepreneur of the Year.
Others included Sharaf Mahama of Legacy Rise Sports, who received awards for Community Activism and Boxing Promotion of the Year. All recipients were commended for their contributions in their respective fields.
In their remarks, awardees expressed appreciation for the recognition and pledged to continue serving their communities while promoting unity, cultural heritage and development among the Ga people.
The ceremony concluded with a call for sustained collaboration and support for initiatives aimed at uplifting the Ga community and preserving its cultural identity.
