Deprived Children

Children Helpers Foundation (CHF) was founded in 2002 with a clear and compassionate vision: to restore hope, dignity, and opportunity to at-risk children in Cape Coast, Ghana.

At the heart of CHF’s mission is a commitment to holistic child development. The foundation provides access to quality formal education, after-school academic support, life skills training, mentorship, and psychosocial care designed to nurture each child’s physical, emotional, spiritual, and intellectual well-being.
