Get to know all about Ahaspora
OUR STORY
Ahaspora Professionals Network (Ahaspora) is a dynamic Pan-African diaspora organization established in 2011 to promote Brain Gain and contribute to the development of the African Continent. The organization plays an instrumental role in connecting the Ghanaian and African diaspora to their roots, supporting their transition, and creating avenues to give back to the Continent. Our community is made up of professionals and like-minded individuals who have returned or are thinking of returning to Africa.
The name Ahaspora is a combination of “Aha,” an Akan word for “Here,” and “Spora,” a stem of Diaspora, reflecting the status of being home but coming from and retaining the mindset of the diaspora. This unique identity allows members to share ideas and experiences that bridge the gap between home and abroad.
Our Inspiration
Ahaspora embodies the belief that collective efforts leveraging the human capital of Africans and People of African descent in the Diaspora through Brain Gain, can shape Africa’s future, empowering returned professionals to inspire positive change.
What is Ahaspora?
Aha” is a Twi (Akan) word for “Here” and “Spora” is a stem of Diaspora. This name befits our status of being home (in Africa) as global citizens.
The network aims to bridge the gap between those who are “Ahas”, Ahasporans, and Diasporans, by sharing ideas and experiences to build partnerships and investments, ultimately promoting economic and social development in Africa.

The Ahaspora family is a great source of inspiration and connections. When I first joined, I was a bit skeptical about the group but I later found out it was made up of young professionals who had adapted but not accepted the condition they find themselves in. The support that they give each other is really heart warming and I dare say out of this world. There is mutual respect and they are number 1 fans of anyone trying to do better. I am a beneficiary of this love from Aha. When I introduced my business to them, there was no negativity like there usually is in the Ghanaian setting, instead there was an outpouring of love, respect and admiration. As a returnee with a small business in Ghana, this level of affection was quite strange, as all I had heard was Ghanaians don’t support each other. The friends I have in Aha are friends for life. Thank you so much Ahaspora. We are changing the country from the inside indeed.David Fosu
Since repatriating to Ghana, Ahaspora has been my go to, especially for scouting young professionals on the job market. Its free, it serves more than one purpose and truly summarizes the sentiments and experiences of the repatriated diaspora in several discussion points. Glad to be part of such a revolutionary platform.Pamela Sarkodee
