She continued: “JCI aims to impact on of the people of Ghana especially at this time of electricity challenges.” Accra Royal chapter of JCI intends to educate the people in the country on the need to eradicate malarial parasite and the prevention of malaria and other diseases.
Henry Giessenbier Jr. started the JCI Movement, growing into what is now a global movement of impact reaching across more than 100 countries to more than 5,000 communities.
