GIU in the Eastern Region
Oyoko, Koforidua is where founder Kesse Anyimadu was born — and where GIU’s most personal work happens. From a 7.5 KVA generator that powers a clinic to ongoing community partnerships, the Eastern Region is GIU’s home base.

Founded in Oyoko, Koforidua
The Eastern Region of Ghana — anchored by the cities of Koforidua, Nkawkaw, Akim Oda, and Begoro — is one of the country’s most historically significant regions. It’s also where Kesse Anyimadu, GIU’s founder, grew up: a small village called Oyoko, just outside Koforidua.
Kesse’s childhood in Oyoko shaped everything about GIU. Before he became a CPA in the United States, he was a kid in a classroom with a bare concrete floor. Before he founded a nonprofit, he was a scholarship recipient himself. The Eastern Region isn’t just where GIU works — it’s where the founder owes his entire trajectory.
Our flagship Eastern Region project to date is the Oyoko Health Centre generator donation — a 7.5 KVA generator that has eliminated maternal deaths from power failures and now powers 150,000+ annual patient visits, day or night. Featured on 3News Ghana in January 2025.
