Our purpose
Well of Adoye Foundation relieves poverty and promotes health in Ghana. It provides food, clothing and other necessities of life to people experiencing poverty, and brings mobile medical services, essential medicines, health education and safe drinking water to rural and low-income communities.
Individuals and families experiencing poverty, and the public in rural and low-income communities in Ghana, including pregnant women, new mothers, infants, children in orphanages and seniors.
Many rural communities in Ghana face food insecurity and live far from health care and clean water. Well of Adoye exists to bring that help directly to them, one region at a time, with every activity directed and accounted for from Canada.
Healthier, food-secure communities across all 16 regions of Ghana, where families can meet their basic needs and reach basic health care.

The people behind the work
Our approach is built on our directors' years of hands-on charitable work, from corporate social responsibility missions and diabetes care programs to food banks, The Salvation Army and medical missions in Ghana. Our founder has also mentored equity-deserving youth, helping break down barriers to education, mentorship and career opportunities. Today, Well of Adoye focuses that experience on Ghana, with every activity carried out under Canadian direction and control, transparent reporting, documented oversight and measurable public benefit.
