The Sovereign Shield
No Musician
Left Behind
MUSIGA's welfare programmes are a lifeline for every member — from emergency medical support to pension security. Because the music never stops, neither does our care.
MUSIGA is committed to providing value for members in all aspects of welfare. Our programmes cover ageing musicians, life insurance, pension security, and national health cover — ensuring no musician is left without support.

Community Care
Musicians
Helping Musicians
MUSIGA has joined Collins Woode from Denmark to develop a welfare programme whereby Ghanaian musicians volunteer to help ageing and sick fellow musicians.
Volunteers are trained and then help deliver care directly in people's homes — providing companionship, assistance, and dignity to musicians who need support most. This model is based on a successful programme in Denmark and is being adapted to serve Ghana's music community.
Volunteer-led home care
Trained musician volunteers deliver care in the homes of ageing and sick colleagues — musician to musician.
Peer Support
Ghanaian musicians supporting their fellow musicians — a community built on solidarity.
Home Care Delivery
Trained volunteers visit ageing and sick members in their homes, providing hands-on assistance.
Volunteer Training
All volunteers are trained before they begin delivering care to ensure quality and dignity.
International Model
Based on a proven programme from Denmark, adapted specifically for Ghana's music community.
Community Support
Bereavements
MUSIGA has a dedicated Welfare Officer at both national and regional levels who actively supports the families of musicians who have passed on.
MUSIGA executives are often heavily involved in organising funeral events — especially when there are performances to honour the deceased. We believe in walking alongside our members' families in their time of loss.
In Memoriam
We honour every musician who has left us. Their contributions to Ghana's music culture will never be forgotten.
