West Africa has expanded its global network through agreement with the

efforts in support of community development and health related concerns. "It
is my pleasure to announce that our joint-venture with VPWA will improve
access to both American and Ghanaian communities, each known for strong
support in the fight against HIV/AIDS, Malaria, Tuberculosis and other
communicable diseases," said Bill Powell, President of TransCAP Foundation,

need for such partnerships to mobilize resources to fight the spread of
diseases most importantly HIV/AIDs is more urgent than ever. He said, “With
the Oil discovery in Ghana and influx of people from all parts of the world
into the country, strategies and funding to combat diseases have become a
glaring call’’.
