Located in Achiase, a village situated in the Atwima Nwabiagy district of Kumasi, the Tiyah Development Centre project here offers an educational and support service with a focus on HIV/AIDS awareness and understanding. Staffed by a team of local and international volunteers our work takes us into six surrounding communities, offering formal and informal education and advice to community members, schools, hospitals and church groups on a daily basis.
With the philosophy that forewarned is forearmed, Tiyah Development Centre addresses the gap in knowledge and understanding of the major health issues facing Ghana today including HIV, Hypertension, Diabetes and animal bites.
With a view to sustainable education and empowerment, we have also established a network of school-based youth clubs with the ambition of creating an ever-expanding base of peer educators who are able to pass on knowledge, advice and understanding to others.
At Tiyah we are also heavily involved in gender issues in Kumasi working to improve the rights and wellbeing of women in our communtities focussing on maternal health and child care as well as the rights of women in decision making both locally and on a national scale
