Real People, Real Hearts Behind Venunye.
Venunye Foundation is led by a humble, multicultural team who love children, honour widows, and believe that communities in Ghana and around the world can grow stronger together.
The Heart That Started Venunye
Venunye (“Ven”) grew up surrounded by the realities of poverty, resilience, and everyday kindness in Ghana. Out of that story—and in honour of his mother’s legacy—Venunye Foundation was born to make sure vulnerable children and widows are not forgotten.
Ven connects his roots in Ghana with his life abroad, building bridges between generous friends and resilient communities in need of a hand of hope.
Ven doesn’t lead alone. Around him is a growing circle of local leaders, volunteers, and partners who carry the work forward every day—often quietly and faithfully.
