About the Foundation

Abena Tay Foundation LBG is a Ghanaian non-profit organisation dedicated to the well-being, safety and empowerment of girls and children. We promote mental health, protect children from harm, and create enabling environments where girls can learn, lead and thrive. Our programmes are community-rooted and evidence-informed. We engage schools, families, traditional and faith leaders, health and social service providers and local authorities to deliver results that change lives.

Our purpose is straightforward. We help girls and children to understand their emotions, to heal from trauma, to feel safe in school and at home, and to grow into confident and capable members of society. We also support widows and vulnerable women as a strategic secondary focus because the resilience of mothers and caregivers is central to the well-being of children.

We align our work with the Sustainable Development Goals with emphasis on Goal 3: Good Health and Well-being, Goal 4: Quality Education, Goal 5: Gender Equality and Goal 16 Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions. We operate with a strong governance structure, a clear theory of change, and practical systems for measurement, learning and accountability.
