The Pearl House

Our Mission

The Pearl House provides HOPE: healing, opportunity, protection, and education.

Our four branches help us achieve each of these goals.

The Pearl House Haven is a counseling center, shelter, and residential complex for young women overcoming trauma.

Our Career Centers are private vocational schools, equipping young Ghanaian women, between the ages of 16 and 21, with the professional and life skills they need to succeed.

The Pearl House Residential Care program protects, educates, and disciples at-risk young women in underserved communities in Ghana.

The Pearl House Academy is a Christian school that inspires students in the community through innovative teaching.

Our Vision

To empower young women to change their families, their communities, and their nation

Our History

The Pearl House was founded in 2013 to provide hope for girls in rural Ghana, Africa. By providing physical care, emotional support, spiritual development, and life-changing academic/vocational opportunities, we empower our girls to discover their unique identity and purpose in Christ.

Together, we are shaping a brighter future for these girls, their communities, and their nation.


We are proud to employ more than 70 talented Ghanaian staff working on the ground in Ghana.
