Transforming Lives Through Restoring Justice

Over the years we have been involved in various humanitarian endeavors addressing inequalities in the judicial system.

Our Key Initiatives

Projects driving justice reforms.

Prison Projects

Prison Reforms

Improving prison conditions to challenge the status quo about incarceration as a form of punishment

Petty Offenders Project

This initiative secures the release of individuals imprisoned for minor offences through the payment of court fines because of the absence of a Non-Custodial Sentencing Law in Ghana

Ex-Convict Reintegration

Through counseling, skills training, and livelihood support, this project assists ex-convicts to reintegrate into society with dignity and purpose.

Philanthropy

Street Charity Series

Offering financial support and basic necessities including food, and clothing to people living on the streets.

Village Charity Series

Extending humanitarian aid to remote communities, including the provision of healthcare, food, and cash donations.

Health Check Series

Payment of medical bills of financially distressed patients.

Educational Support Series

Helping the underprivileged realize their dreams through the payment of school fees, provision of uniforms, and learning materials.

Decriminalizing Vagrancy Laws

In partnership with key stakeholders, CCF leads the Decriminalizing Vagrancy Laws and Advocacy Project (DVLA) to protect poor and homeless Ghanaians from unjust arrests under outdated local by-laws. The initiative promotes legal awareness, policy reform, and social inclusion, helping citizens live freely without fear of criminalization for poverty-related offenses.

Justice Tracker

CCF partners with USAID and Ghana’s justice institutions to implement the Case Tracking System (CTS)—a digital platform that monitors criminal cases from arrest to trial and beyond. The project enhances transparency, accountability, and timely justice while empowering citizens to monitor and demand fair treatment within the justice process.

Real Stories Of Transformation

Crime Check rescues Ama Animah

After we shared the story of Ama Nima from Kumasi Central Prison three weeks ago, many were those who expressed disgust. The thought of being sentenced to five years in prison because she couldn't pay a court fine, after being beaten by other family members was difficult to grasp. But God works in mysterious ways! After her release from prison, I asked Ama what she wanted to do for a living. She said with 500 cedis, she could do a lot. Little did she know we at Crime Check Foundation had other plans for her. Through the donations we received from some good Samaritans, we rented a flat in Accra for Ama and her two children and moved them in. She was so surprised she wept all day. A dustbin attendant now moves into a plush accommodation paid in advance of four years. But the biggest surprise was on its way! This afternoon we showed Ama her big provisions shop and gave her a sum of seven thousand Ghana cedis. Your guess is as good as mine! It was tears and tears and tears of Joy! To all those who helped change the circumstances of poor Ama Anima, may the Almighty God richly bless you.

CCF Funds Surgery for Man Battling Severe Gum Tumour

Crime Check Foundation extends a small but life-saving lifeline to 30-year-old Daniel Ameyaw, who has been battling a severe gum tumour. Through its Health Check initiative and the generosity of donors, CCF contributed GH¢6,500 to help begin his surgery, offering him renewed hope for recovery and a better life.

CCF Supports Acid Victim

Crime Check Foundation (CCF) supported Memuna Malik, a 31-year-old woman from Akyem Oda who suffered severe burns after an acid attack. CCF donated GH₵4,000 to help with her medical treatment and recovery. Through this support, CCF restored hope and dignity to Memuna, reflecting its commitment to helping victims of injustice and hardship rebuild their lives.

Man Saved By CCF

A dedicated teacher was jailed for failing to pay a court fine he didn’t fully understand. CCF intervened, settled the fine, and helped him return to his students. With mentorship from the Foundation, he now advocates for fair sentencing and helps identify others unjustly imprisoned for petty offenses.r

CCF Helps Free Akollobilla

Someone gave asthmatic 102-year-old Akollobilla weed to sell after he had been sacked as a farm attendant and was struggling to feed himself. After ignorantly accepting the offer out of hunger, he was arrested the next day and given a ten year sentence at Kumasi Central Prison at a time the Narcotics Control Commission bill had not been reviewed by Parliament. We supported him in prison on our visits, providing him all he needed. We did our best and got him a presidential pardon two years ago. He was healthy when we visited him in his village to present him money and some toiletries, only to hear today that 102yr old Akollobilla has joined His maker. May Allah grant our grandfather a lofty place in paradise.
