Formed in the year 1992 as an NGO in Ghana, the aim is one of information collection and dissemination not only to improve and update the knowledge and skills of those involved in the prisons sector but also to gauge the current facilities available to prison inmates, ex-prisoners and those who come into contact with them for rehabilitation, aftercare and assimilation into the main stream of the society.

 

The mission of Christian Care is to make life in prison humane and to provide rehabilitation and offer care and support to ex-convicts so they can be reintegrated into their communities.

 

Their goal is to work in partnership with Ghana Prisons Service and other agencies with similar aims and objectives to deal with issues of HIV/AIDS, TB, Hepatitis B/C, and Syphilis in Ghana's prison facilities and communities

 

The organization has collaborated with institutions and organizations such as Ghana Aids Commission (GAC), Ghana HIV/AIDS Network (GHANET), International Prisons Watch Ghana (IPW), Joyful Way Inc., Department of Social Welfare, Ghana Country Coordinating Mechanism (Ghana CCM), National Aids Control Programme (NACP), National TB Control Programme (NTP) and many others.
