Ghana

We are child advocates

We provide children with tools and training they need to access education, overcome barriers and be a voice for change. We’ve had an office in Tamale, Ghana since 1996.

About Us

We partner for change

Thank you to our implementing partners for making dreams come true in Ghana…

We foster quality child development

In Ghana, we work with experts inside and outside our organization to support early childhood, a critical time of development.

We’re already seeing positive change as members of a working group leading the review of the national early-childhood development policy.

We hope to help improve infrastructure, sanitation facilities, teaching strategies and encourage more government involvement in supporting learning in kids between the ages of four and five.

More about us

You ask, we answer.
Happily.

Sponsorship combines funding from supporters to provide children with access to education so they can thrive in school and life. The program also gives children:

  • Equal access to opportunities and resources, such as clean water, healthcare and quality education
  • Confidence, knowledge and leadership skills to realize their rights
  • Opportunities to have their voices heard through community clubs, public forums and our sponsorship programming
  • The tools to play an active role in improving the systems that are supposed to protect them

And, letters sent between donor and sponsored child contribute to building a child’s confidence, so they’re encouraged to create a brighter future for themselves.

For $44 per month, sponsorship through Children Believe gives a child access to education and provides their community with the tools and resources they need to thrive.

As a child sponsor, you’ll receive an Annual Report as well as an update of your sponsored child’s progress and a new photo, so you can see how they’ve grown. We also include updates from their community so you see what your support, along with their hard work, has accomplished.

Trust and accountability are very important to us. Children Believe uses results-based management to measure and evaluate everything we do. This ensures we’re accountable to you and can achieve the greatest change for children. Read ChildVoice magazine and our online stories to meet the children and families you’re helping.

Since we were founded in 1960, we’ve reached out to children of all faiths, ethnicities and cultures, and all people who want to make a difference in their lives. Yet, in the countries we work, there’s often confusion about whether we serve children of other faiths. As a commitment to our Christian faith principles, we want every child to feel excited and proud our name represents them and every person to feel inspired and welcome to join our cause.
