School fees, uniforms and books
We cover the costs that keep children out of the classroom — fees, uniforms, exercise books and exam registration.
Every child in New Juaben deserves a full plate and a place in class
The Nana Juaben Serwaah Foundation pays school fees, cooks meals and runs health outreach for children and elders in our own community. Small, local, and run by the people who live here.
What we do
Four things, done properly
We are small on purpose. Rather than spread thin, we do a few things consistently for the same children, year after year.
Hot meals, cooked and served
A cooked meal on the days it is hardest to find one, prepared and served by people from the same community.
Health outreach and screening
Outreach days bringing checks, basic treatment and referrals to people who would otherwise not travel to a clinic.
Sport, play and holiday clubs
Somewhere safe to be a child — organised sport, games and holiday activities that keep young people together.

Our founder
Nana Juaben Serwaah
Queen Mother of New Juaben
As Queen Mother, Nana Juaben Serwaah is asked for help most days — school fees, a hospital bill, food for a household that has run out. The Foundation exists so that those requests meet something more durable than a one-off gift.
The work is deliberately close to home. Decisions are made by people who know the families involved, and who will still be here next year to see what came of them.
“We are not building something to be admired from far away. We are making sure the child down the road eats and goes to school.”
