The Faith Needy Children’s Home (orphanage) is located in south central Ghana about 150 kilometers from the capital Accra. It is 3 kilometers down a dirt road from the village of Bewuanum. It is not a religious orphanage but it is run by Pastor Nana Nkansah and his wife Mary. There is no government funding provided.
Working with other international and local nonprofits, the Akwakwaa Foundation assists with daily needs, such as food, water, housing, sanitation, and health care, as well as funding teachers and other staff, who care for and educate the children.
