Our Story Our Mission
Founded on compassion and resilience, the Rebecca Yeboah Foundation stands as a beacon of hope for those often overlooked in society.
"No one should be forgotten."
— Rebecca Yeboah
A Legacy of Compassion
The foundation was born out of love, gratitude, and legacy, inspired by Rebecca Yeboah, a woman whose life embodied kindness, generosity, and service.
Rebecca Yeboah was a mother not only to her children but to an entire community. Her hands were never too tired to give, her words never too few to comfort, and her heart never too small to hold others. She uplifted widows, supported struggling families, and nurtured children with the tenderness and dignity every soul deserves.
When she passed, her spirit of selflessness refused to fade. To honor her memory and continue her mission of compassion, RYF was founded — a living tribute to her belief that "no one should be forgotten."
RYF carries her light forward, creating sustainable impact through education, healthcare, and community empowerment. What began as one woman's quiet acts of kindness has become a movement of hope, transforming lives and rewriting the stories of the vulnerable.
Our Mission
To provide compassionate support, education, and healthcare that uplift vulnerable communities. We believe that every person, regardless of age, circumstance, or background, deserves access to dignity, opportunity, and hope. Through hands-on programs, heartfelt community engagement, and transparent partnerships, RYF works tirelessly to transform vulnerability into strength and despair into renewed purpose.
Our Vision
To be a beacon of hope and transformation for widows, the elderly, and children, ensuring that no one is left behind. Our vision is a world where compassion leads, where aging is honored, widowhood is met with empowerment, and childhood is nurtured with care and opportunity. We aspire to light up communities with love, knowledge, and sustainability, building futures filled with dignity and promise.
Our Strategy
RYF positions itself as a people-first humanitarian foundation that bridges compassion and action. We don’t just offer aid, we create pathways to self-sufficiency and social empowerment. By focusing on holistic development, from education and healthcare to livelihood programs, RYF stands as a catalyst for enduring change.
We are not just a charity; we are a movement for humanity, transforming everyday lives through trust, love, and purpose-driven service.

These principles guide everything we do, from program design to community engagement.
