Consecrated Persons Against Human Trafficking Ghana, also known as the Talitha Kum Ghana Network, is hosting its 2026 Annual In-Person Meeting at the Centre for Spiritual Renewal in Kumasi. 

The meeting forms part of the network’s ongoing strategy to strengthen members, promote collaboration, and share knowledge and skills on best practices for combating human trafficking in Ghana. Talitha Kum Ghana is made up of 25 religious congregations, five non-governmental organizations, and committed individuals who share a common vision of building a society free from human trafficking and all forms of modern slavery. 

The four-day meeting will bring together representatives of member organizations from 26 to 29 August at the Centre for Spiritual Renewal, Santasi–Kumasi. Representatives from the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation, the network’s main financier, the Conference of Major Superiors in Ghana, the legal owners of the network, and officers from the Regional Anti-Human Trafficking Unit of the Ghana Police Service are also expected to join the meeting at different times. 

Members of the network are located across Ghana and meet virtually every quarter, with one annual in-person gathering to deepen fellowship, review progress, and strengthen their collective response to human trafficking.  

As part of the meeting, Sr. Olivia Umoh, DC, will officially hand over her role as National Coordinator of the Talitha Kum Ghana Network to Sr. Fidelia Unigwe, DC. Sr. Olivia has served in this role since 2018 while also serving as Executive Director of Safe-Child Advocacy. Sr. Fidelia, a psychosocial therapist and member of the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul, will continue the network’s mission of strengthening collaboration and action against human trafficking. 

The meeting will also feature a placard campaign against human trafficking on Friday, 28 August, along the Opoku Ware School campus at Santasi. The campaign will raise public awareness about human trafficking and encourage community members to support efforts to prevent exploitation and protect vulnerable persons.
