Nana Kwesi Osei Bonsu is the founder of Land Rights Defenders, a nonprofit organisation focused on raising awareness and resources for Indigenous communities fighting for their rights to their land. The origins are deeply rooted in the grassroots struggle of the Benimasi-Boadi community, where the founder, Nana Kwesi Osei Bonsu, personally witnessed the devastating impact of land grabs.
Facing persecution for his advocacy, Nana Kwesi Osei Bonsu was granted humanitarian parole by the U.S. government, leading him to establish LRDI in April 2023. Since then, LRDI has been a relentless advocate for Indigenous communities. We strategically invoke international laws, file complaints with the UN Human Rights Council, and collaborate with key partners such as USAID, Google and Microsoft. Our unwavering commitment is to protect Indigenous lands and rights and ensure justice for those affected by these critical issues.
