Our Story

-Queen Mother Comfort Nana Ama Owusu

Twenty years ago, I faced a serious illness that brought me to the brink of life and death. In my recovery, I was overwhelmed with gratitude towards God for sparing my life. It was during this time of reflection that I felt inspired to give back to my community in a meaningful way. Encouraged by the teachings of my pastor, I made the decision to extend a helping hand to those in need.

My first act of giving was to donate a significant amount of food supplies to an orphanage. However, shortly after this gesture, I fell ill once again. Despite my own physical limitations, I was determined to continue making a difference. I delegated someone to carry out acts of kindness on my behalf, ensuring that the spirit of giving persisted.

It was during this journey that I recognized a pressing need within my community – the lack of access to education, particularly for preschool-aged children. Motivated by the desire to create positive change, I took it upon myself to establish a preschool for the children in my neighborhood. This initiative not only provided a safe and nurturing environment for young minds to flourish but also helped prevent nursing mothers from exposing their newborns to hazardous work environments.

The Weep Not Child Foundation began humbly with just eight children under our care. However, through unwavering dedication and the support of our community, we rapidly expanded to accommodate over 200 children within a mere six months. The ripple effect of our efforts led to an increase in the number of preschools in our community, signaling a positive shift towards prioritizing early childhood education.

Despite our initial success, sustaining the preschool proved to be a financial challenge after I lost my job. It was during this time of uncertainty that a partnership with Nsawam Social Welfare breathed new life into our endeavors, enabling us to continue our mission of empowering the youth through education.

Twenty years have passed since the inception of the Weep Not Child Foundation, and the impact of our work speaks volumes. From electricians and craftsmen to teachers and entrepreneurs, we have nurtured and supported countless individuals in their journey towards self-sufficiency. It brings me great joy to witness our children excelling in various academic and vocational fields, knowing that we played a part in their success.

However, our work is far from over. Many of our beneficiaries are still pursuing their dreams, and it is only through continued support and generosity that we can help them realize their full potential. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to all my family, friends, and supporters who have stood by us throughout this journey. Your unwavering commitment and compassion have kept the flame of hope alive for the children we serve. Together, let us continue to sow the seeds of hope and opportunity, ensuring that every child has the chance to thrive and succeed.

This is my story, I invite you to be a part of the future of Weep Not Child.
