We are a Christian based NGO which seeks to improve upon the educational development in the area of Dagbon (Northern Ghana).
Literacy and Development through Partnership (LDP) is a Non Governmental Organization working among the Dagomba people in the northern part of Ghana. LDP exists so that children and adults in Northern Ghana can learn to read and apply their literacy skills to better their lives.
