No One Should Be

Forgotten

The Rebecca Yeboah Foundation creates sustainable impact through

educational, nutritional, health, and social support programs for

widows, widowers, children, and the elderly in Ghana.

Creating Sustainable Impact for the Vulnerable

The Rebecca Yeboah Foundation (RYF) exists to create sustainable impact through educational, nutritional, health, and social support programs for widows, widowers, children, and the elderly. We believe in empowering the less privileged and giving dignity to every life

Key Focus Areas

We direct our efforts where they are needed most, supporting the most vulnerable members of our communities.

The Elderly

Healthcare, companionship, and dignity care for seniors who are often isolated and forgotten.

Children & The Less Privileged

Education, nutrition, and mentorship to help young people reach their full potential.

Widows & Widowers

Emotional, financial, and skill-based support to help rebuild lives after loss.

The Unspoken Truth

Sustainable Development Begins at the Grassroots

Too many people live unseen — widows forgotten, elderly left in silence, children robbed of opportunity. RYF exists to rewrite these stories, bringing hope, love, and opportunity to the most vulnerable.

  • Empowered women build stronger families
  • Educated children create brighter futures
  • Cared-for elders preserve community wisdom
  • Compassion transforms entire communities

Stories of Transformation

Hear from the lives that have been transformed through our programs.

After losing my husband, I felt completely lost. RYF not only provided emotional support but also trained me in soap-making. Today, I run a small business and can support my three children. They gave me hope when I had none.

At 78 years old, I thought I was forgotten. But RYF volunteers visit me regularly, bring me food, and take me to health screenings. They make me feel valued and cared for. I am forever grateful.

My parents could not afford my school fees. Thanks to RYF’s scholarship program, I am now in senior high school and dreaming of becoming a nurse. They believed in me when no one else did.
