Changing worlds with photography.

ABOFRA Foundation, Ghana - Photographer Dallas Raines

It’s easy to forget the power that a single individual has to make a difference in the lives of others.

This organization is a wonderful opportunity to do just that, to help children build for a better future and foster a genuine sense of global community.

With your support, I look forward to working with Abofra Foundation to create imagery to help their story reach the eyes and hearts of others.

The Organization: Abofra Foundation is a registered (CG000492016) local non-profit organization in Ghana seeking to improve the socio-economic well-being of vulnerable and destitute children. The idea of Abofra Foundation was earlier discussed in 2013 with family and friends, activities began in 2015 and officially registered and established on January, 2016 by our founder, Kwasi Ampadu and team.

The name Abofra means a child in the Akan (Twi) language in Ghana. The reason for the choice of name is that, children are the hope and future leaders of every town, community, country or nation. So the well-being of children is of our great concern.

We believe every child deserves a chance to life.

Our Mission
