Nkrabea means destiny
A Ghanaian NGO empowering marginalised communities through culture and the arts.
Reaching back to build forward
Nkrabea Culture and Arts Ensemble LBG is a registered Ghanaian non-governmental organisation. In the Akan language, Nkrabea means destiny: the belief that our path is shaped by a purpose connecting our past to our future.
Our work is to reach back into the rich soil of Ghanaian culture, like the Sankofa bird, and use its wisdom, art and power to build a more inclusive future.
We harness the transformative power of culture and the creative arts as tools for socio-economic development, with a particular commitment to Ghana's most marginalised communities. Our area of operation is national.
