Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

In all societies and in all conditions, there is no better way to raise the next generation than a family. Ghana Make a Difference (GMAD) provides vulnerable children with a place they can call home as we work to reintegrate them with their biological family or to place them in a new family. We protect children who have been rescued from child trafficking, abandonment or who have other special needs. We preserve families and make a sustainable difference by providing a path to self reliance through shelter, vocational training, life skills, education and medical care.

  • Support of orphanage in Ghana. The majority of our resources were used to fund an orphanage in Dabanyin, Ghana.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
