How many people from Ghana live in Africa?

According to the United Nations, 485,000 people from Ghana live in Africa.

In total, 1,050,000 people from Ghana live abroad, and about 46% of them live in Africa.

However, the figure counts migrants, not their children born here. The real community is therefore larger.

Where to meet people from Ghana in Africa

No community for people from Ghana exists in Africa on Compatri yet. However, one first member is enough to open one in their city.

As soon as a community starts, its meetups show up on the events page, with the date, the venue and the number of attendees.

Joining the Ghana community in Africa

Compatri brings diasporas together where they live. First, you choose the community of your city. Then you discover what its members organise: meals, parties, afterworks or mutual aid. Finally, you message compatriots who share your interests.

You can also host your own meetup: a meal, an outing or a party. It then appears to members of your city, and you follow sign-ups from your account.

Your exact location never appears: other members only see an approximate area. In addition, joining a community and attending events costs nothing.

The Ghana diaspora elsewhere in the world

Elsewhere, the Ghana diaspora also lives in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Italy. Each country has its own page, with its cities and meetups.
