Who We Are

A Christian ministry restoring lives and transforming communities across Ghana since 1985, part of a worldwide fellowship of hope.

Our Identity

Bringing hope where it is needed most

Prison Fellowship Ghana (PFG) is a Christian ministry committed to the transformation, rehabilitation and reintegration of prisoners, ex-prisoners, their families and other vulnerable persons affected by crime and incarceration.

Established in 1985 and affiliated with Prison Fellowship International, our ministry spans evangelism, counselling, legal aid, family welfare, rehabilitation, reintegration and volunteer-driven prison outreach. Today we are strengthening our volunteer base, expanding prison coverage and building our institutional systems for greater impact.
