Family Health & Education Foundation About Us

Rev. Stephen Kwakye, President

Nine years ago when I arrived in America from Ghana West Africa, I was overwhelmed to see the over abundance of
supply there is in this country. There are many precious
items that people have need of so much in third world countries. There are children who walk completely naked. There are homes without food to feed the children on a
daily basis. The degree of poverty is and have been a prevailing factor, my mother and I had to deal with all of
my life and much of the conditions continue until this very day. Having been raised by a single mother in absolute
poverty during my childhood, I am very determined to help fight for the cause of poor children and women.

During the last nine years, with the help of many generous donations by school districts, individuals, and churches we were able to shipped four forty foot containers of used clothing, foot wear, used books, and computers to various schools in Ghana. In the year of 1994 my wife and I purchased four acres of land in the village of Kasowa in Ghana.

Here is where changing the future of one child,
one family at a time, begins...

Undergraduate Education for All

“When you educate a man, you educate an individual, but when you educate a woman, you educate a nation.”

- Dr. Kofi Aggrey

Education is precious in Ghana, and needs to be available to all of her children. Future plans include building an American-style K-13 school to provide education for brilliant but poor young women, and boys who cannot afford private education.

When a U.S. School Superintendent recently visited some of Ghana’s primary and secondary schools, students in one class were asked to hold up their textbooks. On average, classrooms had 3 books per class of 100.
