About Us 

WHO WE ARE

The Irene Boham Foundation is an unincorporated  small charitable organisation set up in 2017 in the UK for underprivileged youngsters in the UK and in Ghana desirous of pursuing careers in nursing or other healthcare related discipline. We acknowledge, celebrate and support youngsters to continue their career in healthcare programs to university or college level as can be seen at our Success  Stories section

The scheme works closely with Afia Appiah, a development professional and her dynamic team including Nana Yaw Sunnu and Sandra Oduro, working from Accra, Ghana. 

Most of our funds come from the Founder,  through donations and our fund raising events.  We accept donations from individuals, organisations, associations, other charities and sponsorship. We will accept the generosity of those that support us either through donating and/or though attendance at our future fundraising events.
