Who We Are
We are Young Son Rising LLC, a nonprofit organization based in New York City, USA, incorporating Global Accessibility Management (GAM)—a subsidiary initiative operating in Ghana. Both entities were founded by our dynamic Executive Director, Mr. Ivan Alevante, a seasoned Disability Rights Activist who has played a significant role in shaping disability policies inspired by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
GAM was born out of Mr. Alevante’s vision to replicate ADA’s success—originally enacted in the 1930s to secure the rights and opportunities of people with disabilities (PWDs)—in Ghana and beyond. With experience and passion, Mr. Alevante leads our mission to ensure that individuals with disabilities in Africa can live empowered, dignified, and productive lives.

To make a lasting difference in the lives of people with disabilities (PWDs) in Ghana and across Africa by promoting inclusive access to education, employment, healthcare, housing, and community life.

Empowering PWDs to be active and productive contributors to their communities.
2. Education
Offering skill-based education and vocational training that lead to long-term employment and self-reliance.
3. Employment
Creating fair and equal employment opportunities for PWDs.
Supporting the development of small-scale businesses led by PWDs.
4. Accessibility
Educating the public and the construction sector on accessible infrastructure.

6. Socializing

Our long-term goal is to establish a self-sustaining, ADA-compliant community model within 3 to 5 years by collaborating with local governments, businesses, and community stakeholders.
Our Partners
Global Accessibility Management (GAM) proudly partners with the Islamic Council for Development and Humanitarian Services (ICODEHS), a respected NGO headquartered in Accra, Ghana. Founded in 1991 by Sheikh Mustapha Ibrahim, ICODEHS is a well-established humanitarian organization with a strong regional footprint across West, Central, and East Africa.
