About Us

Be part of a change
you want to see in the world

Araba Foundation was born from a deep belief that where a child is born should not determine how far they can dream. Founded as the JARAB Foundation and now rebranded as Araba Foundation, our journey began with a simple but powerful goal: to break the cycle of poverty in rural communities through education, mentorship, and advocacy.

Our founder’s personal story of growing up in a rural community where education for girls was not a priority continues to inspire our work today. We understand the barriers rural children, especially girls, face; lack of resources, cultural expectations, and limited access to quality education—and we are committed to changing this reality.

Over the years, we have reached thousands of rural children in Ghana with educational materials, mentorship programs, and led menstrual health campaigns that ensure no girl misses school because of her period. Our goal is to create communities where education, equality, and empowerment are not privileges but rights.

Our Mission

To empower rural children, youth, and girls through education, mentorship, health advocacy, and community development initiatives that break barriers and create opportunities for a better future.

Our Vision

A world where every child, regardless of location or background, has access to quality education and equal opportunities to reach their full potential and transform their communities.

Our Values

- Empowerment: We equip children, youth, and girls with tools and opportunities to thrive.
- Equality: We champion equal access to education and opportunities for all.
- Integrity: We serve communities with transparency and accountability.
- Collaboration: We believe in the power of partnerships to drive lasting change.
- Innovation: We embrace creative solutions to address educational and social challenges.

Our Story, Our History

Welcome to Araba Foundation.
At Araba Foundation, we believe every child, regardless of where they are born, deserves access to quality education, equal opportunities, and the chance to dream beyond limitations.

Born from the legacy of the JARAB Foundation, Araba Foundation is a youth-led, community-driven nonprofit empowering rural children, youth, women, and girls in Ghana through education, mentorship, health advocacy, and gender equality initiatives. We are on a mission to break cycles of poverty, dismantle barriers to education, and amplify the voices of marginalized communities so they can lead change in their own lives and beyond.

From menstrual health campaigns like She Bleeds with Pride to provision of educational materials, renovating and building schools, scholarships, mentorship programs, and policy advocacy, our initiatives are changing lives one community at a time. With a growing network of volunteers, partners, and advocates, we are proving that when rural communities are given the tools and opportunities to thrive, they rise.

Join us as we educate, empower, and inspire the next generation of changemakers.

Together, we can turn possibilities into realities.
