What We Do
We are committed to saving lives and building resilience through targeted programs in drowning prevention, road safety, addiction recovery, and disaster preparedness.
Life Partners Platform engages in community sensitization programs on water safety, road safety and the prevention of substances abuse in Ghanaians. The organization builds the capacity of communities through simulations exercises, training, sensitization, education and awareness creation. This is done together with other community-based emergency response agencies helping to build their confidence in preparedness, respond and recovery during an emergency.
We also have accredited trainers who train in basic survival swimming skills for both children and adults in communities to international standards. Our technical experts spends quality time with clients to ensure the acquisition of knowledge, attitudes and practices that enhance swimming survival.
Our community education, sensitization and awareness creation are packages that hinge on capacity building. Therefore, safety instructions and donation of safety gears are our way of identifying the nexus between preparedness and philanthropical actions.

Why We Do What We Do
Due to the high national death toll from drowning, road accidents, and substance abuse, LPP is committed to saving and improving the quality of lives in Ghana. Unfortunately, there is a lack of public awareness among communities about these preventable issues. Owing to the remote nature of most communities where these incidents occur, little or no attention is given to these priority areas. Life Partners Platform offers a national platform through several lifesaving programs, training, and advocacy to the at-risk population. Life Partners Platform is the game-changer for marginalized communities where the risk is high and government services are limited.
