Cheerful Hearts Foundation (CHF) is a registered grassroots non-profit Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) aimed at providing assistance and support to rural community development needs in Ghana. We are committed to the principle that researches regional and rural community needs and organizes responsive programs to combat the needs arising.
Our main focus includes Education, Health, HIV/AIDS and Malaria projects, Tuberculosis, challenging culturally inherited behavior that retards development, human rights, children and youth, women empowerment, farming project support and improving existing rural community services.
Cheerful Hearts Foundation is made up of staff and volunteers working together to improve the lives of the rural communities in Ghana. Volunteers are members who volunteer their time, money, and their skills for the success and achievement of the organization’s objectives.
In our strategy to help solve such issues, we conduct a number of research projects into the culture of the local people, their pressing challenges and finding solutions to needs arising, organize HIV/AIDS education, Malaria, Tuberculosis and other basic health campaigns to educate the public. We assist local hospitals with general health delivery services, provide free health consultations and health materials to the villages. We provide volunteers to help local institutions, organize skill training, co-ordinate quiz competitions and debates among schools and providing awards to successful students to raise educational interest in children and youth. There are also many other projects we do to help solve the needs of the community.
Moreover, we work in partnership with local institutions including the District Assembly, Ministry of Health, Ministry of Education, local community leaders and other stakeholders in our areas of operation, which gives us the opportunity to get first-hand information and share collaborative efforts on how best we can be of assistance to the community.
Cheerful Hearts Foundation also provides internship positions for students from all over the world in our community development programs, which gives them the opportunity to apply classroom knowledge to help solve practical life situations, improve their capabilities and CV/Resume, and learn different cultures to give a deeper understanding of global experience. You can read more about our programs from the Internships.
Our main operational area in Ghana is the Awutu Senya Community, a coastal community whose main occupation is fishing and farming. Our district office is at Kasoa, a town which is about 45 minutes drive from the capital city, Accra.
The founders were Eric Opoku Agyemang (Educationist & Agricultural Extension Agent), Bright Fiatsi (Financial Assistant) and Mercedes Falcon (Psychologist).
Our love and strong desire to influence and improve people’s lives brought about the establishment of Cheerful Hearts Foundation.
