The Okoa Project

The Okoa Project is a non-profit organization based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, employing 10-19 individuals. The organization is dedicated to improving healthcare access in rural communities facing significant transportation barriers. The Okoa Project's primary focus is designing and manufacturing motorcycle ambulances tailored to the specific needs of communities in Ghana and other developing countries. These ambulances are designed with local input to ensure they are both effective and practical within the local context. The organization's mission is to address the critical need for rapid and reliable transportation of individuals experiencing medical emergencies in areas with limited access to traditional healthcare facilities. The Okoa Project's approach goes beyond simply providing ambulances. By prioritizing community involvement in the design and manufacturing process, the organization aims to empower local communities, create job opportunities, and strengthen healthcare systems from within.
