About Us

Our Mission

Africa Youth Rising is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization operating in Dodowa, Ghana dedicated to providing young people and their families the education, healthcare, and resources they need to escape the relentless cycle of poverty and create multi-generational change.

Our Vision

Ultimately, it is our express goal to identify root causes that force families to abandon children to orphanages and disrupt those patterns. We are seeking the elimination of predatory orphanages that are actively harming children for their own gain in favor of stable, self-sustaining families and communities.

Featured Project

Adom Fie - Grace House

Our Disability Care Program includes our very ambitious, first of its kind low-cost Disabled Youth Day Care.  This center works to empower the mothers of disabled children by giving them the opportunity to seek gainful employment while their child is mindfully tended. The center also focuses on providing essential interventions including daily Occupational Therapy and child specific assistive devices. The aim is to stabilize families with disabled children thus stopping the high flow of disabled children into orphanages.
