Our arears of operation are education, health and vocational skills. We are situated in Adawso-Akuapem, one of the poorest slum communities within the Akuapem-North metropolis.
Emmanuel Nkrumah started C4H in 2004 after a visit to his family in rural Eastern Ghana. He began with one computer and two boxes with books. Since then it has evolved into a school with a full curriculum, an apprenticeship programme.
"During my visit I saw the situation of the community, with no clean drinking water, no electricity and no school available. Children had to walk for two and a half hours or more tot get to school. That is when I decided I wanted to do something to help these children to improve their future."
Emmanuel Nkrumah, Founder and Director.
