Ghana Society for the Socially Disadvantaged is a voluntary and non-profit making organization.

It was established in 1958 in partnership by some volunteers with Dept. of Social Welfare and Ministry of Health to enhance the quality of life for the physically challenged (crippled) and the socially disadvantaged youth by providing them with free residential vocational training (dressmaking, tailoring, shoemaking and beads making to enable them become independent, self-sufficient and be able to contribute to national development. The organization’s main source of funding was the Ghana National Trust Fund, which was woefully inadequate and hardly met the increasing needs of the centre. The technical assistance from the Department of Social Welfare in the form of providing staff for the centre has been helpful. Now the centre depends entirely on charitable, donors and benevolent organisations.
