THE SALIFU DAGARTI LEGACY
Honouring a Legacy with Lifelong Opportunity.
Founded in 2006 by Nana Haja Salifu Dagarti in memory of her grandfather, Chief Superintendent Salifu Dagarti, who was fatally wounded shielding President Kwame Nkrumah during an assassination attempt at Flagstaff House, Accra, on 2 January 1964. What began as an act of supreme personal protection now lives on as a foundation protecting vulnerable communities across the UK, Ghana, Burkina Faso, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Sierra Leone and India.
