Who we are
Care and opportunity for communities, wherever they are.
Conneh Foundation is a U.S.-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to addressing basic human needs, providing educational support, and empowering vulnerable children, families, and communities regardless of geographic location.
Our work began in 2013, when founder Fatu A. Conneh started her first organization while still in high school. In 2022, it was formally reestablished as Conneh Foundation. Our established humanitarian programs work with educational institutions, orphanages, and local partners across Africa. We are building future initiatives to extend that support to underserved communities in the United States.

A personal purpose
Meet our founder,
Fatu A. Conneh
Fatu A. Conneh is Liberian and was born and partly raised in Côte d’Ivoire after her parents fled the Liberian Civil War. Her family’s experiences with conflict, displacement, and life in refugee camps gave her a personal understanding of how resource scarcity affects children. That experience inspires her commitment to addressing basic needs and expanding opportunity for vulnerable communities in the United States and Africa.
