OAK Foundation is a non-profit organization working to improve the economic well-being of the youth, women and the natural environment in Ghana and across West Africa.

We partner governments, international donors, the private sector, and civil society to bring about sustainable livelihoods for the youth and women by providing quality education, skills training, professional advancement, and opportunities for employment and enterprise development. We also work with partners to implement initiatives to protect the natural environment and mitigate the negative impacts of climate change on vulnerable groups.

Our professional staff, who have diverse expertise and a deep understanding of the communities in which we operate, achieve positive social and economic change using research and evidence to design and deliver innovative programs and projects.
