OUR DREAM

CHF's Vision

Our vision is a future where every African child rises beyond poverty, is empowered through education and care, and grows into a confident individual who contributes positively to their community

Imagine a Pan-African future where the influence of colonialism is diminished and its devastating impacts are reversed. At CHF, we believe the children we serve can be powerful catalysts for this change. Through the generous support of both local and international donors, we provide the resources, guidance, and nurturing environment these children need to grow into confident, aware, and empowered leaders. Our work goes beyond meeting basic needs; we aim to awaken each child’s potential, encouraging them to look inward, discover their purpose, and become agents of positive transformation. By building strong communities and creating unprecedented opportunities, CHF is shaping a future where every African child can thrive, contribute meaningfully, and drive lasting change across the continent.

ABOUT THE FOUNDER

The Visionary Behind CHF

Born in a remote village in Ghana, Stephen Dankwah dreamed of becoming an organic agriculturalist. Orphaned at a young age and faced with severe financial hardship, he endured nine years of forced servitude after being trafficked.

Despite these immense challenges, his resilience and determination never wavered. A compassionate Samaritan eventually rescued Stephen and helped him secure stable employment, giving him a chance to rebuild his life.

Driven by his experiences and a desire to help others, he founded Children Helpers Farm, an organic vegetable farm dedicated to supporting vulnerable children. For over two decades, Stephen has provided shelter, education, and hope to more than 680 orphans and deprived children, empowering them to rise above adversity and pursue brighter futures.

THE HELPERS ORGANIC FARM

Harvesting Hope

The Helpers Organic Farm is strategically positioning itself to secure funding that will enable the development of an additional 20 acres of land to significantly increase vegetable production throughout the year.

This expansion will allow the farm to adopt improved irrigation systems, modern organic farming techniques, and sustainable practices to ensure consistent harvests in all seasons. By boosting production capacity, the farm aims to generate higher and more reliable income to support the long-term needs of Children Helpers Foundation.

Profits from the sale of fresh, organic produce are directly channeled into the orphanage, helping to provide shelter, daily care, and quality education for vulnerable children. Through this self-sustaining model, the farm plays a vital role in securing a stable and hopeful future for the children it serves.

A HOME OF HOPE

Children Helpers Orphanage

A safe haven empowering vulnerable children through care, education, and love

Located in Cape Coast, Ghana, the CHF Orphanage provides a safe, nurturing home for vulnerable children and orphans who need care, stability, and opportunity.

We are committed to meeting both the immediate and long-term needs of every child in our care. Through access to shelter, nutritious meals, education, healthcare support, and emotional guidance, we create an environment where children can heal, learn, and grow.

Beyond daily care, CHF emphasizes character development, life skills, and mentorship to help children build confidence and independence. With the support of dedicated caregivers, volunteers, and partners, the orphanage continues to transform lives and lay strong foundations for a hopeful and empowered future.

GIVE HOPE, CHANGE A LIFE

Why Your Support Matters

In Ghana today, many children face multiple hardships that stop them from thriving. Nearly three out of every four children (about 73 %) experience multidimensional poverty, meaning they lack essentials like food, education, healthcare, clean water, and safe shelter all at once, not just one challenge, but several combined (Ghana Statistical Service, UNICEF & NDPC, 2019). This harsh reality shows how deeply children’s rights and opportunities are limited, especially for vulnerable and orphaned children whose families struggle to meet basic needs. Your donation to Children Helpers Orphanage helps close that gap: it provides education, nutrition, healthcare, safe shelter, and life skills, giving children not just care today, but real hope and opportunity for tomorrow.
