Dzorwulu · Ayawaso West, Accra

We don't wait for Dzorwulu to be fixed. We fix it.

Since 2007, residents' dues have paid for round-the-clock patrols, swept streets, cleared drains and working streetlights, carried out by guards, sweepers and artisans who live here. Every landlord, tenant and business owner gets a say at the monthly General Assembly.
