Welcome to Haven of Love Children Foundation
Haven of Love Children’s Foundation is a collective of passionate young individuals from diverse career backgrounds united by our commitment to serving humanity and fostering community welfare.
Our mission is to support the underprivileged, vulnerable, and marginalized members of society, with a focus on promoting economic empowerment, mental and technological advancement, unity and peace.
Our efforts align with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 16, and 17, aiming to create positive change and a more equitable world for all. The love of Christ is what drives our passion .
OUR MISSION
To improve the quality of life of vulnerable and marginalized children in rural communities between the ages of 0-18, situated in Ghana which in turn develops the socio-economic wellbeing of the country.
Understanding the importance of a strong family environment in raising children, we also strive to provide better health-care opportunities and counselling for parents and guardians in these rural areas to enable them better take care of their children
About the Founder
The journey of Haven of Love Children’s Foundation began when Samuel Nana Bekai Djirackor, a graduate of Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology with a Bachelor’s degree in Agricultural Engineering, was posted for his National Service to teach at Teshie Primary School, a village in the Bawku West District of the Upper East Region of Ghana.
While teaching, Samuel became acutely aware of the poverty in the area and the stark inequality between the northern and southern parts of Ghana.
Burdened by the challenges he witnessed—students dropping out of school due to pregnancy and poverty, and an alarming doctor-to-patient ratio of 2:30,000—Samuel, a preacher of patriotism and selflessness, made a life-changing decision. He chose to abandon any further pursuit of higher education or the search for greener pastures. Instead, he decided to stay in the village and leverage his relationships to build a foundation where patriotic youths from various career disciplines could come together to make a positive change in society. Thus, Haven of Love Children’s Foundation was born.
VISION
To become a leading foundation that helps deprived children to understand how much they are loved by God and to bring hope to the less privilege in Ghana and beyond.
MOTIVATION
Upon arriving in the community, I was struck by the immense potential within the children, youth, and parents who often did not recognize their own worth and capabilities. Our motivation is to elevate their self-esteem and aspirations. We believe that when children and youth see themselves as valuable and capable, they can achieve limitless heights. Our goal is to foster this mindset and empower them to realize their full potential. By providing resources, mentorship, and opportunities, we aim to create a supportive environment for children, youth, and parents where they can thrive, build brighter futures, and inspire confidence, patriotism, and resilience in every child , youth and Parent.

TESTIMONIALS
Proverbs 11:25 “A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed”. NIV version.
As a Christian I have always believed in giving. I believe that when you show love and kindness to a child today, he grows up to change the world in the future.
I have been welled up with joy countless times after hearing and seeing pictures of projects and events that have been successfully organised by Haven of love children foundation.
My joy is mainly because I can imagine the impact and aid being provided for the less privileged in life who deserve every good thing that our Heavenly Father gives just as much as anybody else.
Also, my joy is partly due to a sense of fulfilment about my little contribution, be it financial or any other, ads to the execution of the plans of Haven of love for young mothers, for the environment, for the young and old, for their physical and spiritual development.
Haven of love appears to juggle development and charitable works in a holistic manner, a very commendable feat and one which I am a proud advocate of.
If we can touch lives by sharing our blessings with the less fortunate, I’m sure it will make this world a beautiful place for us all. It may not be a whole lot. Little drops of water they say makes an ocean. Your widow’s might will go a long way.Helping children is very important; early childhood development is attributed to self confidence. Thanks to Haven of Love Children Foundation, a non denominational christian organization committed to supporting, grooming and nurturing children in the love of God.I’m super grateful for the growth the foundation has experienced in the last 6years as what started as kids club meeting has grown into a foundation.Thanks to Samuel Nana Bekai Djirackor, the CEO; a man who chases his dreams like a panter who is running with the vision of Haven of Love to becoming a leading foundation in Ghana and beyond.Earlier in the year, the 50% mark on the 40,000 cedis target for the year 2021 was hit. Thank to all who was a part of that. I can’t but mention the mothers who have graduated from artisanship skill training to be their own bosses. The numerous outreaches just like the tooth extraction and screening that was conducted earlier in the year.How can I forget the one featured on major news online platform and also on national tv to mark world oral day. Children are our future and next generation that will take our values and principles to the next level.This is a subject I strongly believe in and this is why I support Haven of Love Children Foundation.
Haven of Love Children Foundation is an organized youth foundation whose mission and vision focus on restoration of hope of the despair, igniting the dreams of less privilege, putting smiles on the faces of children with life- threatening conditions to mention but a few.
Gbantongo Electoral Areas has benefited from free dental screening, an outreach program that was successfully organized by Haven of Love Children Foundation in which various degrees of dental problems were assessed, treated and advised accordingly by experts.
