A ray of hope cuts through the poverty of Agbogbloshie, a slum in Ghana’s capital. Arm of Hope, a faith-based organization founded in 2007, is transforming the lives of over 600 children there.
Inspired by a calling, social worker Philip Darko established Arm of Hope to serve these underprivileged children. The ministry has blossomed, offering education, discipleship, and a brighter future.
Through partnerships with Hope Community Church and local leaders, Arm of Hope sponsors hundreds of children, providing them with educational opportunities. Uniforms, school supplies, and access to a computer lab and library equip them for success. Counselling services offer additional support.
The impact is undeniable. Already, 68 students have graduated junior high school, 53 from senior high school, and 17 from university, with some graduates pursuing careers in medicine, IT, and television production.
Arm of Hope’s commitment to holistic transformation extends beyond education. The organization’s upcoming Arm of Hope Clinic will provide essential healthcare services to the community.
As Arm of Hope Ghana continues its growth, its core mission remains steadfast, empowering young lives and transforming the slum into a thriving community.
