FOUNDERS
The Nzema Association was founded by Mr. Niamke J. Etchene, along with a group of Nzema men and women from Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire who migrated to Florida in 1990. The association was officially registered in the State of Florida in 2005.
In 2015, the association’s name was changed to Nzema Association Inc., during the creation of Nzema in the Diaspora. In 2018, Nzema people residing in the USA officially established the Nzema Association in the Diaspora, Inc., allowing all member states to form their associations. Subsequently, the Nzema Association of Florida Inc. was renewed and restated on October 23, 2020, by a vote of 18 to 3.

Contributions from Member Associations
Nzema Association of New York and Canada
The Nzema Association in New York, USA, made a significant contribution to communities in Ghana’s Ellembelle and Jomoro districts by donating 20 computers and accessories. This gesture was led by Samuel Kwaw, President of the Association, emphasizing the role of leadership in community development.
During the donation, Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah, Member of Parliament for the districts, expressed gratitude on behalf of the people and assured them of his commitment to transparent leadership. The donation has provided vital support to the education system, encouraging collaboration between parents and school authorities for the development of the youth.
