City of Refuge started in the year 2001 and has been consistent and dedicated to helping orphans and fatherless children in very deprived villages in the central region of Ghana, West Africa. We are currently operational in four villages namely Ajumako Kromaim where it all started in the year 2001, Enyan Assempayin, Wobebobraden, and Enyan Denkyira all in the central region of Ghana.
We currently have a total of 117 children across the communities. We provide education, healthcare, and feeding for children under our care in these communities, We also have a free vocational training center that was built in the year 2017 to help empower teenage girls to be financially dependent whereby helping them to resist men who would lure, use and leave them pregnant and not take responsibility for their actions and leave these poor girls to their fate and also help reform these girls who already have had children and don’t know where to turn for help in such circumstances in deprived villages.
Currently, we looking at building more classrooms and dormitories to help the growing number of girls coming from other nearby villages attain skills to aid them to live free from harassment and abuse by irresponsible men just because most of them have no means of livelihood. We currently have a staff of 10 workers helping in the day-to-day running of activities amongst the children around the communities we operate in.
