A little over a week ago I came across a request for action and a call for help from the Paajaf Foundation on Linked In. They were in need of any computer equipment that could be spared to help set up a learning center. After to responding to that need and learning more about this notable organization from one of the foundation’s founders, Philip Kyei Appiah, I decided a post was in order to make our readers aware of Paajaf Foundation and its honorable mission. Here at Headkleaner, we believe it is our duty to get the word out about deserving organizations whose sole purpose is to further the state of humankind.
Paajaf Foundation was set up by Philip Kyei Appiah and Juliet Adusei to fill a need to provide humanitarian services for orphans and other needy children, especially girls and women, in Ghana. Their endeavor is an ambitious one and will need all of the support that you can give to it. Paajaf Foundation exists to provide information, education and services like, but not limited to, the following:
- providing information and education regarding children’s rights
- adult education and literacy training for women and girls
- providing education and information for foster orphans and other vulnerable children
- educating people on the many levels of discrimination directed towards these children
- equiping women, young and old, with vocational skills and craft that they might build a business and support their families
- HIV/AIDS preventative education as well as care and support for those suffering from this epidemic
- providing practical and social support for all women and children in need
- Research policies concerning the orphans, women and children so that Paajaf Foundation may meet our goals on local, district, national and international levels
Paajaf Foundation’s Specific Activities and Programs
- adult and child literacy education
- a full suite of care and support programs for orphans and other vulnerable children
- HIV/AIDS, Cancer, Hepatitis B, prevention and awareness, care and support programs
- children networking
- computer literacy programs

You can find out all you need to know about Paajaf Foundation as well as donate, at their websitehttp://www.paajaf.org
Headkleaner was impressed and excited by our correspondance with Philip. So we will be organizing a bi-annual or quarterly shipment of computer and office equipment, women and childrens clothes, books, pens, paper, toys etc to the Paajaf Foundation. If you are interested in donating new or used itmes but do not want to ship internationally, you can send it to us in care of the Paajaf Foundation and we will include it in our next shipment to them.
It is so important to give items, that you no longer need or no longer have a use for, to those that can pu them to notable use as opposed to just discardeding them! Headkleaner is a huge proponent of re-use and here is an excellent opportunity to see what you old itmes can, and are, doing for others around the world! It is our world, we are all part of the Global Village and we all deserve the possiblity for a better future!
Sincerely,
Aaron Malys of Headkleaner
