Good Shepherd School & Orphanage

(Short Term)

Brief description and main aims

The idea of setting up an orphanage was conceived in 1987, when the founder and father of the orphanage, Bishop Kwaku Addei, was called and ordained as a servant of God.

Bishop Addei started realizing his dream by acting as a foster father for needy children, during this time he nurtured and assisted a number of helpless children.

The orphanage was eventually set up in the year 2002 following Bishop Addei's encounter with God, urging him to start the project. Initially ten orphans were admitted in the home. The Good Shepherd Orphanage was registered as legal in the year 2004.

The main aim of the Good Shepherd Orphanage is the creation of a comfortable and dependable home-substitute for orphans and other socially disadvantaged children in the society.
