Our work in Ghana
Protecting children and families
Poverty is a big reason why nearly 17% of Ghanaian children don’t live with their family and are forced to live in institutions. It's difficult to raise children when you struggle to meet their basic needs.
Family is essential
Decades of research emphasize that family is essential to a child’s physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual well-being. That’s why our first priority in Ghana is keeping children stable and safe with their family of origin. When that’s not possible, we find local foster families who can provide a loving home.
Your gift helps keep families together.
Equipping and empowering families, right where they are
Our goal is to equip local families to provide loving homes, so children can thrive.
Family Preservation and Empowerment
Access to life’s essentials makes a big difference for struggling families. We help families gain access to nutritious food, health care, and assistance with school fees. We equip families with vocational skills to become stronger and self-sufficient.
Foster Care
When a child isn’t able to remain with their family, we help open the door to a safe, stable home. We partner with local churches, communities, and governments to identify, train, supervise, and support foster families to be the answer for children in need.
Help support Bethany's work in Ghana
For families raising children on less than $2 per day, meeting basic needs like nutritious meals, safe shelter, quality health care, and education can seem impossible. With your gift, we can change that—because children need families.
