Okuaepmman Fekuw of Holland, which is non-religion-political in nature, was originally formed in 10th of March 1990, with aims of bringing brothers and sisters living in the Netherlands together.
Membership is open to all Akuapems, and our sister states Akwamu,Anum ,Boso. and Non Akuapems who have special interest for Okuapemman are also eligible to join.
The Association, which started with few members namely Emmanuel Manukure Saforo, Addo Aikins Comfort Asabea; Odehye Adjei, Elisabeth Koranteng, Late Opanyin Kwame Yirenkyi, Esther Golinghtly and Opanyin Kwasi Okraku.
The aim and objectives were also to inculcate our cultural beliefs, practices and values into our, children. We are mindful that culture is not static, it is dynamic, so we are seeking to blend our culture with western culture to make Akuapem culture attractive to our children.
It is also aimed at Provision of welfare to our members, in terms of sick, birth and death.
In the early stages we had some teething period,some of them were financial, difference in opinions regarding to strategic direction of the society and other logistical problems.
Notwithstanding we have chalked some success. Promoting unity and cohesion within Akuapem state and continuous existence and growing numbers is a great achievement, and opening of Okuapemman branches known as chapters all over Europe and North America. Its our hope this year June 2020 we will celebrate our 30th anniversary. We donated hospital beds in all the five divisional clinics of Akuapem, as well as wheel chairs to Tetteh Quanshie Memorial hospital.
Our short-term goal is to be organizing Odwira festival every year; medium to long-term goal as to sell the idea of Okuapemman model as a template to all Akuapems especially those living in the diaspora we can put aside our personal and group interest in the collective interest of Akuapem. Okuapemman in one state and will ever remain indivisible state.
