About GPDO

A development organization built around human dignity.

We exist to help underserved communities gain the opportunity, capacity and resilience needed to shape a better future.

Our story

We believe lasting development is created with communities, not merely for them.

Global Passion Development Organization (GPDO) is a non-profit organization committed to empowering marginalized communities through integrated and sustainable development initiatives. Established under the Companies Act, 2019 (Act 992) as a Company Limited by Guarantee, GPDO exists to serve humanity with integrity, innovation and impact.

Founded in 2024 by Bishop Dr. Akoto and Rev. Mrs. Akoto, the organization was created to help bridge persistent gaps in education, health, opportunity, social inclusion and climate resilience while complementing existing public and private efforts.
