The ULCF is funded by Unitylink Financial Services. We are the first money transfer company with a charitable foundation supporting orphans living with disability in Ghana with a focus on building communities and transforming lives.
Unitylink has a strong heritage going back over 25 years of providing financial services, with a deep understanding and passion for Ghanaian culture. We are the most trusted independently-owned remittance company in Europe devoted to serve the European-African remittances market.
We are committed to using our resources and brand not only to provide great service to our customers, but to give back to Ghanaians.
ULCF is funded mainly from the profits of businesses in the Unitylink Group. Every time someone uses Unitylink to transfer funds it grows our ability to be able to help those that need it the most.
A percentage (1%) of the transfer fees by our customers is donated to the fund.
I want to say a very big thank you to Unitylink financial services for coming to the aid of this institution. When we get donations of this nature we are so grateful. We are so thankful.
