Where We Work
SOVAN International’s seven priority regions are Upper West, Upper East, Northern, North East, Savannah, Volta and Oti. The Organization focuses on underserved communities experiencing poverty, service-access gaps, climate vulnerability and development inequalities.
- Upper West
Wa Naa’s Palace and the Wechiau Hippo Sanctuary.
- Upper East
Bolgatanga’s woven baskets and the Paga Crocodile Pond.
- Northern
Handwoven fugu cloth and traditional smock making.
- North East
Mamprugu royal heritage and the Nayiri Palace in Nalerigu.
- Savannah
Mole National Park and the historic Larabanga Mosque.
- Volta
Wli Waterfalls and kente weaving in Kpetoe.
- Oti

Why These Regions
Communities across Northern Ghana, Oti and underserved parts of Volta continue to experience unequal access to economic opportunities, infrastructure, education, healthcare, safe water, sanitation and resilient livelihoods. SOVAN’s approach is to target documented need rather than label entire regions uniformly.
Responsible Expansion
Growth will follow a phased, needs-based strategy: first establish and strengthen the model in the seven focus regions; then expand selectively across Ghana; later pursue responsible expansion into other African countries; and ultimately support underserved communities in selected parts of the developing world where mission alignment, legal pathways, partnerships, funding and organizational capacity are strong.
SOVAN International measures growth by the depth, sustainability and measurable value of its impact—not simply by the number of regions or countries in which it operates.
