"Because Only Together We Can

Build a world where every child thrives—free from poverty, hunger, poor health, and lack of education."

Our Story

In Ghana, 1 in 4 children live in multidimensional poverty, lacking basic needs like food, healthcare, education, and shelter. 

Over 1.2 million children are out of school, and many orphans grow up in under-resourced institutions with little support or attention.

GleeChild Initiative exists to change that.

We reach the forgotten—orphans and underprivileged children in hidden corners of Ghana—providing education, healthcare, food, clothing, and hope. 

Our mission is simple: to ensure no child is left behind.

The Reality

Behind Ghana’s progress lies a silent crisis affecting its most vulnerable—orphans and underprivileged children.

  • Many orphanages operate with little to no support, lacking food, clean water, and essential care.
  • Children in underserved communities often go days without proper meals or medical attention.

  • A child can be excluded from school simply because they lack a uniform or a notebook.

  • In some rural areas, access to basic necessities like toiletries, shoes, or sanitary pads is almost nonexistent.

  • These children are often invisible, excluded from national programs, and forgotten by mainstream aid.

At GleeChild, we don’t look away. We go where the need is greatest, helping children regain their dignity and dream again.

SUPPORT US AND CHANGE THE COURSE OF A CHILD’S LIFE TODAY!

Collectively, we have a duty to our society. We are privileged in more ways than one and thus, our social responsibility to leverage this privilege to help the needy and disadvantageous.

I was driven to join GleeChild Initiative by a deep desire to support underprivileged children and individuals in communities across Ghana.
