About Us

Northern Needy Child Foundation

The Northern Needy Child Foundation (NNCF) is a registered non-governmental organization (NGO) based in Tamale, Ghana. The organization was established in 2015 to primarily work with children, women, and other vulnerable groups facing barriers with a view to contributing to a fairer and just society. At NNCF, we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to thrive and succeed, irrespective of their socio-economic backgrounds. Our commitment to this principle fuels our mission to provide a nurturing and empowering environment for underprivileged children, ensuring they have access to quality education and a chance to realize their potential.

It is worthy of note that NNCF was born out of the recognition of the challenge’s children face in the northern region of Ghana, particularly children who lack the resources to access quality education and opportunities. Our organization is thus firmly rooted in that education is a transformative force, capable of breaking the cycle of poverty and opening doors to a brighter future. Guided by this belief, NNCF focuses on creating sustainable and impactful solutions that address the needs of children and other groups facing barriers. In particular, we recognize that intervention targeted at children will only succeed if actions are taken to address interconnected issues, including empowering women and addressing livelihood issues. < Our History >
To enhance access to quality education for children living in poverty through improved learning conditions, appropriate water, sanitation, and hygiene initiatives, and extending the economic agency of women through partnerships with communities, government, and civil society Actors.
At Nothern Needy Child Foundation, we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to thrive, regardless of their background or circumstances. Our work is rooted in the understanding that poverty robs children and communities of their potential — but with access to education, this cycle can be broken.

"Our vision is to create a secure future for children and communities living in poverty through education."
