Join the Ceciyaa Foundation in bringing Joy to an orphaned child for Christmas!



The Ceciyaa Foundation currently supports four orphanages in rural areas of Ghana.
Combined, we assist some 80-90 children with food and through our Goats for Hope program. This year, we would like to provide a special Christmas for each of the children and with your help we can do just that!


Sponsor a child today and your gift will bring the hope and joy of Jesus Christ to a child at one of four orphanages currently being supported by Ceciyaa Foundation. Your gift of $25 will offer direct support to a child in need.

Your gift of love will help us provide a special gift for a child along with:

Nutritious food
Clothing & Shoes

Vocational/Technical Training Program Now Underway

The Ceciyaa Foundation is proud to announce that our Vocational/Technical Training Program is now fully underway. This program focuses on offering young women in rural villages the chance to learn a trade. Completion of this program will not only allow them to earn a living and help their families, but it will open up doors of opportunity and blessings which will serve them well in the future. Mr. George Adu Korantang is now acting as Program Director in Ghana and is in charge of coordinating the selection and placement of students as well as the oversight of student progress in the program.


The first phase of the program is focused on instruction in sewing. A two-year program has been developed which will consist of one year of instruction followed by a one year apprenticeship. This has been instituted to offer the students a full course of study and training. Sewing machines are provided for each student and if they successfully complete the program, the machines are theirs to keep.

The Foundation has contracted with seamstresses in several communities to act as instructors for the program. These instructors will assist Mr. Korantang in identifying possible candidates for the program. Once identified and accepted into the program, the students are placed with their instructor and given their machines. The instructors will be responsible for the daily education and assessment of the students and will report regularly to Mr. Korantang regarding their progress.

Adansi Anhwiaso in the Ashanti Region, was chosen as the location to introduce this program. Our first two sewing machines were taken to Ms. Rosemay Appiah who agreed to join Ceciyaa Foundation in this vision. Ms. Appiah is currently instructing two young ladies there.

Asafo-Akyem, in the eastern region of Ghana, was the second location chosen to offer the program. Three young women there have been chosen so far and are already hard at work. Vida Gyan, the instructor there in Asafo-Akyem, is extremely excited and has more young women waiting for the chance to get involved!

Four more machines, made possible by the generous donations of sponsors in the United States, have recently been purchased. Two machines will be sent to Atebubu in the Brong Ahafo region and two will go to Ashanti-Koforidua in the Ashanti region. Instructors in these two regions are in the process of selecting the students who will receive the first of the machines we are sending to bless the young women there.

We have been blessed and humbled by the reaction we have seen in these communities as we bring this opportunity to them. Ceciyaa founder, Francis Aduoffei says, "They are excited and the seed of hope has been sown for the fruit of assurance in Christ and progressive prosperity in those communities." We have been especially blessed by our instructors, who were so moved when we brought this vision to them that, though they understood that this is a paid position, they agreed to begin instructing students immediately without concern for when they would be compensated.

Donations from sponsors are needed as we seek to give more young ladies the opportunity to participate in this program. Sponsorship is only $70 and will cover the cost of purchasing the sewing machines each student will receive. If you would like to participate in this life-changing program, please send your check for $70 to First Christian Church, 214 N. Avenue D, Burkburnett, TX 76354. Please be sure to write "Ghana Mission- sewing machine" in the notes.

May God bless you as you give.

Current Ceciyaa Projects

The following are some of our current projects which are either already in progress, or which have been approved and are awaiting start dates.

The Children's Closet- This program collects new and gently used clothing to be given to men, women and children. The program was birthed as Ceciyaa's founder noticed how many people in rural areas of Ghana were without adequate clothing, shoes, and personal hygiene necessities. In order to meet that need, the program not only accepts clothing and shoes, but diapers, hygiene products, feminine hygiene products, and medical equipment as well.

Women's Health Initiative- This proram includes the construction of the Ceciyaa Women's Health Services & Childcare Center. Building materials and land have already been purchased and donated to Ceciyaa to construct the center, which will be located in Dubaah-Kumasi, Ghana. Free initial health screening and registration at the clinic will be made available to all of the women in the surrounding area in order to establish medical records for them and then ongoing free preventative care, diagnosis and treatment will be available, along with childcare services which will enable women to seek and find employment without worrying about their children.

Ceciyaa Vocational Training & Continuing Education Program- This program will offer vocational training courses in sewing, beauty school, baking, carpentry, and tie & dye which is a method used in the making of traditional African dress. We already have instructors in place for several of these areas of study. On the continuing education side, adult education will offer adults the opportunity to return to school in order to gain skills which will allow them to either find jobs or start their own businesses.

Leadership Initiative- This program will bring various public speakers into rural areas to speak to the communities on a variety of current issues in order to bring encouragement to the people by offering examples of those who have become achievers.

Ceciyaa Care Kit Program- This program is very special and is close to our founder's hear. This program will benefit the Kibi School for the Deaf and the Akroponj School for the Blind. Kibi is the city where Francis was born, and he was an instructor at the School for the Deaf shortly before coming to the United States. The program will give bags filled with personal hygiene products, towels, bath sponges, socks, etc. to the students at these two schools.

The Water Well Project- One of the main causes of sickness and disease in many rural communities in Ghana is the lack of clean drinking water. The Water Well Project gives donors in America the opportunity to join in the fight against the spread of disease by building water wells in rural communities. $750 covers the cost, including materials and labor, of building one well. The cost is so small when compared to the lives which will be saved and or changed by just one well.

The Evangelical Initiative- All that we, at Ceciyaa Foundation, seek to accomplish, is pursued with one goal which overshadows and outweighs all others. That goal is that the gospel of Jesus Christ may be spread among the people of Ghana. We have adopted this bold, broad mission as a means to change the way the gospel is preached. We don't want to just preach and teach the word, but we want to reach with the word, as the hands of Jesus Christ in the earth, to truly touch the nation of Ghana at the point of its great need.

You have read, in earlier posts, what we want to do, now you know how we are already at work in Ghana, please prayerfully consider joining our efforts today! Email us at ceciyaafoundation@gmail.com, to find out how you can help.
