A Story That Deeply Moved Us
May 2026
A few days ago, the police brought a little boy to our children’s home. He had been found alone on the street and was apparently abandoned. He is about one year old and has now been given the name Divine by the responsible social worker.

When Divine arrived, he was frightened and exhausted. He did not understand what was happening to him. Moments like these do not leave our team untouched either. No child should ever have to experience something like this.
Sadly, stories like Divine’s are not uncommon in Ghana. Time and again, children are abandoned, neglected, or find themselves in acute emergency situations. Poverty, overwhelmed families, and the lack of social support systems mean that many children grow up without a safe place where they can be protected and cared for. For our children’s home, these situations have unfortunately become part of daily life.
Of course, we immediately took Divine in and cared for him. He received food, clean clothes, medical care, and above all, love and comfort. Especially young children need warmth, attention, and the feeling that they are not alone during such difficult moments. Slowly, Divine is beginning to calm down, feel safe, and build trust again.
In order for us to help children like Divine at any time, regular donations to our children’s home are incredibly important. They allow us to act quickly when a child urgently needs protection. They provide food, medical care, clothing, a safe home, and people who care with love and compassion.
Every child who comes to us carries their own story. And every single child deserves the chance for a better future.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone who supports this work and gives children like Divine hope, safety, and a place to belong.
