Who We Are
Yireh International Development Agency (YIDA) Ghana LBG is a health-focused social enterprise working at the intersection of public health, social innovation, and community empowerment.
We were founded in response to one of Ghana’s most pressing but under-addressed challenges: the rising tide of cardiovascular and non-communicable diseases (NCDs). These conditions now claim nearly half of all lives lost annually. They are silent, chronic, and often preventable.
