Akumbia Lodge is the restoration of a 1960s heritage estate in Winneba, Ghana; built by Alex Quaison-Sackey, the first Black African to preside over the United Nations General Assembly. We are looking for companies, foundations, and cultural patrons who want their name associated with something that will last.
A grandfather built this home.
His granddaughter is bringing it back.
THE LEGACY
In 1964, Alex Quaison-Sackey stood at the podium of the United Nations General Assembly and made history as the first Black African to serve as its President. He was 41 years old. The world was watching.
He built a family estate in Winneba, Ghana in the 1960s: three buildings facing the Atlantic Ocean. That home is Akumbia Lodge. And his granddaughter, Nana Henry, a cultural entrepreneur and typography artist based in Philadelphia, PA is restoring it.
Akumbia Lodge will open as a boutique heritage bed and breakfast, a living museum of Alex Quaison-Sackey's diplomatic legacy, and a private rooftop lounge overlooking the Atlantic. Every phase of the renovation is being documented as a 10-episode documentary series called Suite Legacy.
This is not a development project. It is an act of cultural preservation.
Fill in this form and we will be in touch within 48 hours. There is no obligation, this is the beginning of a conversation, not a contract.
We respond to every inquiry personally.

“The companies associated with the restoration of this property are not buying advertising. They are being written into the story of one of West Africa’s most historically significant private homes and into a documentary that will carry that story to the world.”
