About Us

People's Dialogue on Human Settlements

Our Story

Founded in 1999, People’s Dialogue on Human Settlements was born out of a deep commitment to addressing the housing challenges facing marginalized communities. We recognized the urgent need to create sustainable, inclusive human settlements where every individual, regardless of their background, has access to safe, affordable housing and the opportunity to lead a dignified life. Over the years, we have expanded our mission to encompass not only housing but also community empowerment, sustainable development, and climate resilience.

Through grassroots advocacy, collaboration with local and international partners, and innovative programs, PDHS has made a lasting impact on communities across Ghana.
