About us

A story that started in an orphanage in Tema, Ghana

“At three weeks old, my biological mother abandoned me, but miraculously I was rescued and grew up in an orphanage in Tema, Ghana. Today, by the mercies of God, I am educated and well equipped to help many children who find themselves in a similar situation.”

OneHope International is built on a simple conviction: every human being is a unique individual, entitled to a decent life and to respect for their dignity. We identify the needs of every child in our care and work to meet them.

Your gift at work

What your support provides

Every day, children become orphaned or abandoned through illness, violence, natural disasters, poverty or harmful practices. Your support gives them:

🏡

A loving family

A warm family environment with a caring mother and dedicated caregivers.

🍲

Meals & healthcare

Three healthy meals a day and access to the healthcare every child needs.

🛡️

A safe home

A secure, stable place to live, grow and play.

🎓

Education

Preschool, primary and secondary school, through to university and vocational training.

Food security & community care

From six acres to stronger communities

On our six-acre farm, we cultivate corn, beans and cassava—staple crops that nourish families. At harvest, the produce is shared with less privileged communities, turning the land into a practical source of dignity, care and hope.

Growing more than food

Each season connects cultivation with compassion: planting local staples, tending the crops and directing the harvest where it can make a meaningful difference.
