Our History
Stacy M Foundation, popularly referred to as Stacy Foundation is a registered non-profit organization that was founded by Stacy Amewoyi. It was established in 2013 by the redemptive grace of God. The organization was first established in Buabuashie, a metropolitan district of the Greater Accra Region of Ghana, West Africa. It was founded by Stacy M. Amewoyi through her own life’s struggles and experiences. Originally registered in Ghana as Stacy Orphanage Home, the mission and vision of the organization is to be a champion for the orphan, youth, poor and needy. This vision is based on the foundation of grace and scripture which commands us to “open wide your hand to your brother, to the needy and to the poor, in your land” (Deuteronomy 15:11).
Based on this premise, Stacy sought to make a change in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana by beginning with generating funds to help pay for the school fees of students and also recruit apprenticeship to assist them. This act empowered her to do even more as God gave and led her. In the years to come, she has been able to also establish other areas of ministry including the Anaya Education Complex, Stacy Beauty Palace, New York Fashion boutique, We Gurlz Connect program amongst others.
The Foundation seeks to share the love of Christ by helping those in need.
They accomplish this through a variety of practical efforts that make an eternal difference. The Foundation operates an orphanage, a job skills training program, and education center, just to name a few.
The Stacy Foundation also works hard to give back by donating clothes and other items to children in need.
SAME VISION, GLOBAL REACH.
As the organization grew, so did the resources, which has affected so many lives. Now widely known as Stacy Foundation to broaden its reach globally, the mission and vision has not changed. In 2017, Stacy Foundation reached out to partner with Gospel Outreach For All (GOFA) Ministries to replicate its organization in New Jersey, USA. The hope of this partnership is to reach out and share the kingdom of God through the action of the gospel.
