CREED Ghana is a civic education initiative that takes Ghana's founding texts seriously.
We believe the National Anthem's call for "true humility" and "fearless honesty," and the Pledge's commitment to "uphold and defend the good name of Ghana," contain the moral foundations for national renewal.
We are developing curricula, training programs, and assessment tools that help Ghanaians—especially young people—move from reciting these texts to embodying their values.
The emblem of the CREED Institute and Foundation represents a union of knowledge, conscience, and national service. Each element expresses a principle central to Ghanaian renewal.
The Circular Red Ring — Unity, continuity, and shared purpose. Its deep red echoes sacrifice and commitment to the nation.
The Rising Black Star — Guidance, vision, and conscience. The moral light that directs the nation's destiny, recalling Ghana's pioneering spirit.
The Open Golden Book — Wisdom and the pursuit of truth. Education and truth must form the foundation of every act of service.
The Five Green Lines — Each represents one of the five pillars: Civic Literacy & Values Education, Ethical Leadership & Accountability, Participatory Citizenship & Community Action, Civic Technology & Innovation, and Monitoring, Evaluation & Sustainability. Their forest green signifies growth and renewal.
"To Know, To Serve, To Renew."
