JOSFORT FOUNDATION

ORGANIZATION PROFILE

BACKGROUND

Josfort Foundation is a not for profit non-governmental organization based in Cape

Coast in the central region of Ghana. It was registered and incorporated in August 2017.
Its office is sited in Ekon Anweado, a satellite fishing community in the Cape Coast
metropolis, about 30minutes drive from the central business district. The foundation was
born out of the need to curb the rising menace of teenage motherhood in Cape Coast
and improve the living conditions of teenage mothers and vulnerable children.

Josfort Foundation exist to facilitate the complete eradication of teenage motherhood in

the Cape Coast Metro and its neighboring communities through strategic interventions
and support. Among these are:

i. teenage pregnancy prevention campaigns,

ii. economic empowerment and support services for teenagers, and
iii. home care/educational support to vulnerable children.

VISION

A society with educated and economically empowered young women.

MISSION

Our vision is to establish an internationally recognized NGO empowering teenage

mothers with employable skills and promoting the welfare of vulnerable children in the
CCMA to end teenage motherhood.

In the short term, we hope to establish an employable skill training center in

dressmaking, hair dressing and beauty care services, catering, baking, masonry,
carpentry and others. Our medium term objective is to establish a Josfort Foundation
school which will be opened to the public.
