Adullam Orphanage
Adullam Orphanage is a non-profit, non-government organization founded
on the Word of God. (James 1:27) Our mission is to care for orphans,
and abandoned and destitute children in a loving and caring environment.
Hence, the name Adullam which means "A place of refuge".
We are
headquartered in Obuasi, Ghana which on the Gulf of Guinea in West
Africa. There are two
orphanages, one in Obuasi housing 180 children and one in Damongo
housing 40 children. Adullam also supports widows by training and
employing them as caregivers and teachers. We also operate a
chicken farm to provide food for the orphanage and to generate income.
Our
goals are:
-
To offer
orphaned, abandoned and destitute children shelter and a permanent
home, regardless of their race or creed, solely according to their
need.
-
To provide
education up to Senior Secondary School and sponsorship for
University and vocational training for orphans and the
disadvantaged.
-
To prepare
these children to be self reliant, independent, thinking individuals
becoming positive, active, and contributing members of a community.
-
To provide
good nutrition, health medical care and a clean hygienic environment
in which to live and grow.
-
To teach
honor and respect of oneself, other people and God.
