About Us

Ghana Make a Change is rooted in a story of connection and shared values between two families from Ghana and Idaho. Paul Asemah-blay Ekpale grew up in Ghana, where his family often struggled to make ends meet. In 2004, a pivotal moment occurred when Paul helped set the cornerstone of the Accra Ghana Temple. Later as a young man, Paul chose to serve a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He was called to serve in Las Vegas, Nevada. Meanwhile, Keyan Bird from Idaho, inspired by his family's values of hard work and service, embarked on a mission to Las Vegas, Nevada. This is where Keyan and Paul met serving together as missionaries. After their missions, Keyan's father, Lewis Bird, was inspired to visit Paul in Africa, leading to the creation of Ghana Make a Change.
