Your content,in your language.
LocalGhana is a Twi, Ga, and Ewe AI platform that translates, dubs, and chats — making Ghana's education, health, and civic content accessible to every Ghanaian in their own language.
The problem
A language gap that perpetuates inequality.
Ghana produces world-class education, health, and environmental programs. But most of them exist only in a language half the country doesn't speak fluently.
80+ languages, one for content
Ghana has over 80 spoken languages — Twi, Ga, Ewe, Fante, Dagbani, Hausa, and many more. But almost every important piece of content — about education, health, civic rights, environmental protection — exists only in English.
Coastal communities left behind
In Greater Accra, Volta, and Central regions, only 30–55% of adults have functional English proficiency. Mothers at town halls, fishers at community meetings, and primary-school children often can't fully absorb the information meant for them.
Real programs, fraction of the reach
Proven Ghanaian programs like Ocean Tribe Foundation's Plastic Bootcamp exist and work — but they reach only a fraction of their potential because the curriculum is locked in English.
The solution
One platform. Every Ghanaian language.
LocalGhana takes English content and turns it into Twi, Ga, Ewe (and beyond) — text, audio, and conversation.
- • Text — articles, lessons, forms
- • Video — trainings, talks, ads
- • Audio — podcasts, radio, voice
- • Translated text
- • Dubbed audio / video
- • Chatbot on any channel
English text → Twi, Ga, Ewe with community-validated accuracy.
Video & audio → AI voice in local languages with locally-validated profiles.
Multilingual AI assistant on SMS, WhatsApp, USSD, and web.
AI assistant for local-language teachers — lesson plans, quizzes, prompts.
Anchor use case
Built first with Ocean Tribe Foundation.
Ocean Tribe is our founding partner — and our proof of traction. They run the most exciting coastal-conservation programs in Ghana. We translate and dub them into the languages their communities actually speak.
Ocean Tribe Foundation
Registered in Ghana (July 2025), Ocean Tribe Foundation runs an integrated 2025–2030 Strategic Plan: beach cleanups, trash booms, plastic buy-back centers, environmental education, mangrove restoration, and biodiversity monitoring across Greater Accra, Volta, and Central regions.
Their Plastic Bootcamp is already in 50+ schools. We're translating and dubbing every module into Twi, Ga, and Ewe.
LocalGhana inherits real institutional credibility.
