"A little love is all it takes to restore dignity to our suffering children"
| "It seems as though the more technologically advanced the world becomes, the lower the standard of care these children receive." -- A.K. Aaron |
History
After returning from a trip home to Ghana, Mrs. Grace Kumi Aaron
witnessed the substandard care given to children with HIV/AIDS
and other various infectious and communicable diseases. She felt
compelled to do something about it so, she donated all personal
monetary gifts from her 50th birthday party to found Korle-Bu
Children's Project, now known as Children's Health International
(CHI). After visiting Anum Nursery School in Ghana, however, the
members of CHI are expanding our organization to include
educational projects in addition to our healthcare projects.
Who We Are

of education for children in developing countries, and providing
adequate health care to children with infectious and communicable
diseases. Our first few projects have been in Ghana.
Our Mission

awareness of the plight of children in underdeveloped countries, in
order to raise the necessary funds and supplies to provide for their
care and well-being.

the provision of adequate health care and education to under
served children with dignity and compassion.
Our organization works together with physicians, nurses, teachers,
and supportive agencies at each location with the goal of fostering
conditions that are conducive to sustaining the physical and mental
well-being of all children.
