Ghanaspora is the front door to the Ghanaian community in your city. This is what belongs behind it.

What belongs

• Events of interest to the community: church programs, concerts and parties, funerals and memorials, cultural festivals, association meetings and galas, sports, fundraisers and health fairs, national celebrations. Ghanaian or about the community; anyone may attend unless the flyer says otherwise.
• Places and organizations: churches and mosques, restaurants and chop bars, markets and shops, braiders, barbers, tailors, shipping agents, associations, schools, media, embassies and chambers; and independent providers who offer a service themselves (childcare, cleaning, home care, tutoring, rides, event services).
• Guides written by the moderators for newcomers.

What does not belong

• Other people. You may list a service you offer yourself, as an independent provider with a service area rather than a home address. You may not list anyone else, and there is never a "Ghanaians near you" map. Ghanaspora is a noticeboard, not an employer or a vetting agency: it does not check backgrounds or references, so verify a provider yourself before relying on them.
• Scams, fake events, fake ticket links, or anything misleading about price, date or place.
• Hate, harassment, threats, or content that targets people for who they are.
• Adult content, weapons, drugs, or anything illegal where the event takes place.
• Political campaigning and party events, unless a moderator has agreed they are of general community interest.
• Repeated flyers for the same event, and events already listed. The app tells you when something looks like a duplicate; a moderator decides.

How moderation works

• New members' flyers are checked by a moderator before they appear, usually within a day or two. Members with three approved flyers and none rejected publish at once.
• Anyone can report an event or place from its page. Moderators dismiss the report, take the item down, or, for abuse, ban the submitter.
• Owners who claim a listing or event can edit its details; moderators can undo an edit, take an item down, or remove a verified badge.
• Every moderation action is written to a log.

Removal requests

If you are pictured on a flyer or named in a listing and want it removed, or you own a place listed without your consent, email hello@ghanaspora.app with the link. We act within a few days.
