About Us
Over 40 years of caring for vulnerable children in the heart of Ghana's Central Region.
Our Story
From Six Children to a Community
Countryside Children's Welfare Home was founded in 1981, beginning with just six children in Winneba. Two years later, in 1983, the home relocated to Bawjiase in the Central Region — the community it has called home ever since.
What started as a small shelter grew steadily over the decades. By the early 2000s, the home was caring for over 70 children, most of them under the age of ten, providing meals, schooling, and a stable family environment.
Today, after a period of scrutiny and reform, the home continues its mission with renewed accountability structures, transparent governance, and a deep commitment to the children entrusted to its care.
What We Stand For
Our Mission & Values
"To provide a safe, loving, and stable home for orphaned and vulnerable children in Ghana — nurturing their physical, emotional, and intellectual development so they can grow into confident, capable adults."
Safety First
Every child in our care is protected, heard, and valued. Their safety is non-negotiable.
Education
We invest in every child's academic future because education is the surest path out of vulnerability.
Transparency
We operate openly under the oversight of Ghana's Department of Social Welfare, and are accountable to our community.
Dignity
We treat every child with respect and work to preserve their sense of identity and belonging.
