Children's Home - Accra, Ghana

Assurance of Hope

Read 2025 Update/Report Below.

Thank you for considering supporting the Assurance of Hope (AOH) children's home in Ghana Africa.  Founded many years ago by an amazing local family  (that still run the day to day operations today) this is a home Possibilities International came across in 2012 and have been intimately involved with ever since.  

I have been involved with the Assurance of Hope home since 2013 and seeing first hand that is exactly what they do, provide hope to those that otherwise many have none.  They take in children in need for various reasons and once a child comes into care they typically spend the rest of their adolescence in the home.

We traditionally call these types of homes orphanages but this is a home and 1 giant family, I have been there dozens of times and it has never felt like an orphanage

Without AOH and your support, most of these children would end up living on the streets with a bleak future.  With your continued support every child attends school in uniform, are well nourished and have a loving home to call their own.  Thank you, thank you, thank you!

2025 Impact Report

A Year of Growth & Transformation

A Message from Rhoda, Director of Assurance of Hope

The year 2025 was truly amazing. Despite a few setbacks, we met our major goals and witnessed incredible growth in our children. None of this would be possible without our partnership with Possibilities International and the unwavering support of our global donor family.

You don’t just provide a roof; you provide a future. Your support covers rent, utilities, caregiver allowances, and the daily essentials that allow our children to thrive.

Academic Excellence: Our Kids are Rising

Our primary focus has always been education, and 2025 was a banner year for our students:

  • Tertiary Success: Three of our students successfully entered their second year of university/college.

  • Secondary Transitions: Four students finished Junior High School and were placed into our top-choice secondary schools and apprenticeship programs.

  • Graduates: Two students graduated from Senior High School and have been accepted into post-secondary institutions.

  • Foundation Levels: Our primary school students are showing consistent improvement, giving their absolute best in the classroom every day.

Beyond Our Walls: Community Impact

The support you give never stays just within the children's home. Clothing, food, and first aid supplies are often shared with underprivileged children in the surrounding community. When you give to us, you are helping the wider village.



Looking Ahead: Our 2026 Goals

As our children grow into young adults, our mission shifts toward independence. In Ghana, turning 18 is a difficult transition; without a trade or a home, these young adults face extreme vulnerability.

To ensure their success, we have three major priorities for 2026:

1. The Vocational Shop ($5,402 CAD)

We are in the process of building a vocational shop for our graduates who have completed their apprenticeships. This shop will provide them with a place to work and earn a living.

  • Status: Exterior and interior finishing still required.

  • Goal: $5,402 CAD to fully launch this hub for self-sufficiency.

2. Secure Our Home: Rent Renewal ($1,700 CAD)

In Ghana, rent is typically paid two years in advance. Our current lease is due for renewal in June 2026.

  • The Ask: We need to raise $1,700 CAD to secure our facility for the next two years and ensure the children have a stable roof over their heads.

3. A Reliable Van

Transportation remains a significant hurdle for school runs, medical needs, and group initiatives.

  • The Vision: We are seeking a donated van (ideally from Canada). We are prepared to handle the clearing process at the Ghana ports if a vehicle can be provided.



"Your survival depends on who met you and held your hand to the top."

In Ghana, many of our children have no family to return to once they reach adulthood. You are the hands that are holding theirs as they climb. On behalf of the management and all the children, we thank you for your continued prayers and generosity.

Together, let’s make 2026 even greater.
