Our mission
We protect, inspire and develop the marginalized, poor and the needy, by providing them with a helping hand as well as infrastructure assistance to help them improve their standard of living.
More about the FoundationWhat we do
Programmes with one promise: dignity.
Capacity Building
Scholarships for girls in STEM and quarterly vocational training in dressmaking, hairdressing and shoemaking for the youth of Shama and its environs.
Livelihood Support
Monthly stipends and groceries for children, the aged, persons living with disabilities and widows — keeping households afloat.
Infrastructure
Cost-effective basic social amenities — schools, clinics, ICT — for communities usually ignored by policy or a lack of funds.
Advocacy
Creating awareness around teenage pregnancy, child labour and girl-child education — building ownership of change within communities.
Health Check
Routine health screening aligned with WHO health commemorations — early detection, prevention, and peace of mind.
Kingdom Business
Giving back to the church through infrastructure, ministry resources, and support for pastors and evangelism — strengthening congregations to serve God and their communities.
“There is profound joy in seeing people stand up for themselves.”
Featured story
From Shama Junction to engineering lecture halls.
Through our scholarship scheme, young women from the Shama District are reading Mechanical, Civil, Minerals and Environmental Engineering at KNUST and the University of Mines and Technology. Others receive sewing machines, salon equipment and start-up funds to open their own shops.
Where we work
Rooted in the Western Region, reaching for all of Ghana.
Our home is the coastal Shama District — communities shaped by mining, cocoa, timber, oil and gas. We work where scholarships prevent child labour and where livelihood support reaches the aged and the sick.
Our core values
How we hold ourselves to account.
Accountability
We take accountability for the outcomes of our actions and accept ownership of our work. We explain how our resources are gained and used to achieve results to all stakeholders, including beneficiaries.
Transparency
We are open about our work, making information about our activities and plans available to relevant stakeholders — from how we select members and beneficiaries to accurate, complete and timely financial reports.
Integrity
We uphold and encourage the highest standards of integrity and ethical conduct in all our activities, operating with honesty and propriety at every level of the organization.
Caring
People-centered and service oriented, we show compassion, kindness and care for the well-being of one another — especially the poor, the needy and the marginalized in society.
Fairness
We do not discriminate against gender, race, social status, disability, religion or tribe. Everyone is treated equally based on our procedures and policies.
Respect
We value people, honor diversity and recognize that all humans deserve respect and dignity, exemplifying humility, courtesy and politeness to everyone.
