Who We Are
We support the less privileged people in our communities through the following activities
ABOUT WHAT WE DO
Brafie Nsoroma Foundation (BFNF) is a Non-Governmental Organization fully registered with the Registrar General Department – Ghana. BFNF is a locally based organization in Ghana with its lead office in Cape Coast of the Central Region. BFNF was officially registered in 2019 to complement the many charity works we were engaged in.
Over the years many people have received medical financial assistance from our intervention. We have helped treat many through our sponsors, feeding the aged and have cared for leprosy camp patients by doing documentary and launched campaign to exposed disability and talents, encourage people to donate food item to them because of their condition they have been neglected, teaching kids how to read on our soccer pitch reading program and plastic recycling.
What We Do
Our Projects
01.
Women Empowerment, Development & Sustainable Projects
Brafie Nsoroma Foundation aims at empowering women for sustainable development in our communities. Our target is therefore aimed at helping single mothers by increasing their capacity to support themselves and their children.
Ndoboa Projects
Ndoboa (pronounced as Ndo – Boa) is a concept derived from the Ghanaian language, specifically from the farming communities. It means “help me with my farm and I will also help you clear your farm to ensure bumper harvest for all.” We have adopted this concept, “Ndoboa” with the sole aim of demonstrating love through help. Ndoboa is a women development, empowerment and sustainability project, targeting single mothers in our surrounding communities (Cape Coast, Central region of Ghana).

Social Support Programs
Bra Fie Nsoroma Foundation is a community-driven organization committed to empowering children, women, and vulnerable populations in deprived communities in Ghana. Through education, technology, reading, health support, and mentorship, BFNF seeks to create sustainable change by providing opportunities that enable individuals—especially children—to reach their full potential.
The core initiatives under our social support program include Light Up Africa, Africa Kids Connect, and Small Things with Bigger Impact.
LIGHT UP AFRICA
Light Up Africa is an Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and reading initiative by Bra Fie Nsoroma Foundation, designed to positively expose African children to technology and literacy. The current pilot community is Ebubonko, a deprived village in Cape Coast South, Central Region of Ghana.
Technology is advancing rapidly across all sectors of the world. Without access to ICT education and strong English reading skills, African children are at a severe disadvantage in global competition. Many children in Africa remain excluded from technological advancement due to limited resources, poor exposure, and lack of structured learning opportunities.
Light Up Africa aims to bridge this gap by combining ICT education with reading and literacy development, ensuring that African children are equipped with the tools needed to succeed in the modern world. Every child deserves the right to grow, dream, and pursue their ambitions, regardless of their background.
ICT & READING CENTRE
Soccer Pitch Reading Program
Bra Fie Nsoroma Foundation seeks to establish an ICT and Reading Centre where children can improve their English literacy and gain practical ICT skills. African children are intelligent and capable; with the right information, guidance, and consistent practice, they can excel in all areas of life.
Program Background
The Soccer Pitch Reading Program has been running successfully for the past four years. The program targets children in communities where interest in soccer is high, but interest in reading and formal education is low. Soccer is used as a motivational tool to encourage children to participate in reading activities.
The program is implemented in partnership with Ali Royal Soccer Foundation, a local juvenile soccer academy. The pilot community is Ebubonko in the Central Region of Ghana.
Program Structure
Children participate in warm-up exercises (10–20 minutes)
Reading sessions follow for approximately 40 minutes
Children then engage in soccer or other sports for about 40 minutes
To encourage participation, children are provided with drinks, occasional candies, and sometimes soccer equipment such as balls and boots.
Reading Groups
Children are divided into three groups based on reading ability:
Beginners / Lower & Upper Primary
Children who can read but need support
Children who cannot read at all (Kindergarten and minors)
This group focuses on pictorial reading, storytelling, and volunteer-assisted reading
Impact and Participation
Average weekly attendance: 70–90 children
Sessions held every Wednesday, 4:00–6:00 pm
Participation continues to grow steadily
The program is paused only during school examinations or national events involving children
Challenges
Inadequate supply of age-appropriate books
Many children attend sessions hungry, which affects concentration and learning
Despite these challenges, the program has demonstrated strong impact and community acceptance. Pilot attempts in nearby communities have received high participation and positive feedback, showing potential for expansion.
Future Plans
BFNF plans to:
Assign children with specific learning difficulties to individual volunteers
Track and measure progress in literacy and educational development
Expand the program to additional communities once resources permit
HOSPITAL READING PROGRAM
Many pediatric wards in Ghana lack child-friendly murals, educational artwork, and engaging learning materials that support healing and emotional well-being.
Bra Fie Nsoroma Foundation visits pediatric wards—particularly the Cape Coast Teaching Hospital (CCTH)—to read, interact, and spend quality time with hospitalized children. These visits provide emotional relief, encouragement, and a sense of care and belonging to children undergoing treatment.
Activities include:
Reading storybooks to children
Assisting with simple educational workbooks
Light physical or mental activities when appropriate
This program was paused during the COVID-19 pandemic and is scheduled to resume. Support in the form of children’s books and learning materials is welcome.
AFRICA KIDS CONNECT (AKC)
Africa Kids Connect (AKC) is a mentorship, exposure, and connectivity program initiated by Bra Fie Nsoroma Foundation to bridge the gap between African children and global opportunities.
The program seeks to connect:
African children with one another locally
African children with peers and mentors abroad
AKC uses education, tourism, environmental engagement, and career exposure to broaden children’s horizons, boost confidence, and help them discover their talents and aspirations.
Many African children grow up with limited exposure and often underestimate their abilities compared to children in the Western world. AKC aims to change this mindset by providing equal opportunities, positive role models, and practical experiences.
Key Program Areas
Local educational tours (road, rail, and air)
Career mentorship and guidance
Internship and mini-internship opportunities
Environmental problem-solving tasks
Leadership development (“Kids as Agents of Change”)
Kid entrepreneurship (“Kidtrepreneur”)
Inspirational career days with professionals
Peer education initiatives
Reading and publishing simple children’s storybooks
Identification and nurturing of special talents and creative skills
Pen-pal programs and collaborative team projects
Encouraging ICT skills, coding, Java, and related technologies
SMALL THINGS WITH BIGGER IMPACT
Small Things with Bigger Impact is an initiative by Bra Fie Nsoroma Foundation that encourages individuals and organizations to take simple actions that create meaningful and lasting change.
Many people in need do not require large interventions—small acts of kindness and support can significantly transform lives.
Key Activities
Connect to Support Food Campaign
This campaign was launched at the Ankaful Leprosy Camp with two main objectives:
Provide food support for cured Hansen’s disease patients
Identify and expose inmates living with disabilities who possess special talents
Medical Aid Support
BFNF also facilitates medical assistance by:
Identifying individuals with critical health conditions
Connecting them to sponsors, donors, and medical support networks

Volunteerism Projects
The world is increasingly embracing the spirit of being our brother’s keeper—supporting the vulnerable, serving communities in need, and offering skills and services for the collective good. Today, elementary school pupils, high school and college students, universities, and professionals across the globe actively participate in volunteerism, often traveling long distances and using their own resources to support projects in communities with critical needs.
Volunteerism knows no age, profession, or background. What truly matters is passion, selflessness, availability, and the willingness to serve. Voluntary work creates meaningful opportunities for young people, experienced professionals, retirees, and community leaders to dedicate their time—whether for a short, medium, or long-term period—based on their availability.
Volunteerism has also become an important platform for students and professionals to either gain practical experience or share their expertise. In line with this global movement, Bra Fie Nsoroma Foundation (BFNF) offers members of the African diaspora the opportunity to participate in carefully structured volunteer placements aligned with their field of study or professional background.
Diaspora volunteers may select placements lasting 2–5 days, which form part of our two-week volunteer and cultural immersion project package.

VOLUNTEER & TOURISM EXPERIENCE

By signing up with BFNF beyond the Year of Return and heritage pilgrimage tours, volunteers enjoy unforgettable cultural experiences while making a meaningful impact in local communities. This approach allows participants to “kill two birds with one stone”—giving back through volunteer service while creating lifelong memories and strengthening connections with Africa.
