Our Story

All children are born equal but circumstances reduce space of development and violate their human rights. The Hill Side African Cultural Village tries to bridge the gab between the most advantaged and the worse disadvantaged among kids and the youth in the Greater Accra region. Empowering the parents, school drop out with trade to begin with.” Give us this day our daily bread”. The youth around these villages migrate often to the city centers in search of non-existence jobs and these presents a very good fertile grounds for breeding more other complicated social vices since it takes them only 25 to 30 minutes drive to the capital city, Accra. In a way to curb these and many more social evils from occurrence and to make life more meaningful to these venerable children and the youth ,Samuel Alabi Tetteh conceived the idea of a personal relationship between a child and a sponsor-a model that puts the child at the centre, and today remains the core of what we do. The idea that problems faced by many children can be reflected in the story of one child’s life helps people to see the human face of poverty and, more importantly see how they can help. Since that time, our approach to humanitarian assistance has evolved from creation of employment activities, child development programs and emergency assistance that helps children, and their families in Ghana.

For sometime now Hill Side African Cultural Village has been working with children, families and communities and has established long-standing reputation of being a highly ethical, effective, efficient and committed child development organization.
