About Lemon Family
One vision. Five companies. A foundation that changes lives.
Your stay with us directly supports the others
Every guest who visits supports the whole ecosystem.
It all began in 2011, when two men and their families from two different continents were brought together by chance. What started as a friendship soon grew into a strong bond, leading us to purchase a piece of land with a shared dream: to create something truly special. Our vision was simple yet powerful — to build a place where guests' Dreams Come True, where we could give back to others, and where our children — our future successors — would feel proud of the legacy their fathers began.
Today, Kofi, as CEO and co-owner, oversees the operations of all Lemon Group companies, while David, in his role as a Developmental Chief in Elmina (Nana Ekow Ankama I.), is dedicated to philanthropic work that uplifts the community.

Support Lemon Family
Three concrete ways our guests can help children and teachers in Elmina.
Become a Step-Parent
$250 / year
Cover one child's entire school year — uniforms, books, shoes, all fees, and daily meal money. You choose the school and the child, and can hand over the supplies in person when you visit.
Paint the School
$600
Fund a full repaint of a classroom block so children study in a bright, welcoming space. One donation covers materials and labour end to end.
Buy a Class Table
