Who receives your money

Reviewed legal entity: OrphanAid Africa (OAfrica Ghana) · Ghana
Named recipient: OrphanAid Africa (OAfrica Ghana) · Ghana
Giving route: Direct official Ghanaian bank-transfer route

Select the Ghana section naming OrphanAid Africa. Other listed country branches are separate recipients. The annual report says Spain and UK branches closed at 31 December 2025; those routes are not recommended. General support is not child-specific tracking.

Check whether gifts are restricted to a place or project, fees, currency, recurring-payment terms and eligibility. Read current terms before proceeding.

What we checked, and what remains uncertain

Minimum public-source checks passed on 2026-10-05: named identity, official presence, recent reported activity and an authorized giving route with an identifiable recipient.

Minimum public-source checks only. Registration and programme results may be organization-authored. Live registry standing, bank ownership, payment settlement, use of an individual gift and field outcomes were not independently audited. No payment made. Evidence describes its stated reporting period, not guaranteed delivery today. Annual reports use a 365-day reporting-period window.

Official annual report physical p12 names OAfrica Ghana and NGO DSW/6075. Official Ghana transfer instructions name OrphanAid Africa and its Dodowa address; brand identifies its former name.
