Welcome to EBENSU Foundation

About Us

Ebensu Foundation is an international charitable organization based in Ghana, West Africa. We provide support to those of us who are unable to break free from the cycle of poverty. Whether it is helping a woman without family support to learn a skill, or capitalize on a skill she already has, so that she can support herself and her children, our goal is to be there nurturing her success through grants and micro-loans. We also focus on child education, in a place where fees are collected and uniforms are required for basic education, many children stay home. Without an education, children stand little chance of living above the poverty line as adults. Alongside our major projects, we also work with partner charities and individual donors as their “boots on the ground”, supervising distribution of donated items like reading glasses and safety goggles to schools, communities, and individuals without means.

All of the work we do is possible through 100% charitable contributions. Through your support, we can make a difference in the life of an individual and in turn entire communities they touch. 

Our Needs

EBENSU foundation exists through your generosity and kindness

EBENSU is always in need of lightly used items to distribute within needy communities. Medical supplies and equipment, clothing and shoes, safety equipment, electronics, almost anything can be used to further our cause. Please contact us at info@ebensufoundation.org to coordinate sending any items our way.

Who We Are

Ebensu Foundation is an international non-governmental organization based in Ghana, West Africa. Our mission is to help people faced with poverty and few resources to create a self-sustaining life. This may come in the form of business assistance, training, education, and related necessities.

Our Co-Founder and CEO, Mr. Ebenezer Mensah, witnesses the abject poverty in the rural-urban communities near Cape Coast in Ghana, every day. Since he was a child, he dreamed of establishing an organization to alleviate the suffering he sees, especially amongst marginalized individuals and children, giving hope to those who struggled to meet their basic needs. Today, through Ebensu Foundation programs, we bring this dream to reality one case at a time, helping individuals to survive and ultimately thrive.

HOW WE WORK

EBENSU Foundation is made up of a local, boots on the ground, volunteer staff who work with our beneficiaries to implement our assistance programs. In this way, only a very small percentage of our donations go toward supporting our operations, and the rest goes directly to those in need. Funds are never given directly, but are carefully allocated to a pre-determined budget and managed by EBENSU. 

We require all beneficiaries to agree and sign a letter of commitment and partnership with Ebensu. Through this partnership, we agree to help them and they agree to help others in turn. Their help to others may be in the form of assisting a child relative with school fees, or training a young person in a skill that they themselves were trained in. In this way, the benefits of our work together is passed along generation to generation, creating a thriving community.

Together we can make a Difference!

There are numerous ways to get involved with EBENSU. We depend on our pool of volunteers, fundraisers, donors, sponsors, corporate institutions and the general public to help us in delivering hope to individuals in need. You can help by:
