Our Story
Courage Minten was born in Ghana, West Africa, and adopted to the United States in 2014. Despite the distance, he remained closely connected to his younger siblings, Abigail and Derrick. During high school, he spent his summers working at a local lumber mill and used his earnings to help his siblings attend school in Ghana.

In Ghana, access to education is limited and costly. School fees — including tuition, supplies, uniforms, and exam costs — often place education out of reach for many children.

For his senior project, Courage created “Education for Courage’s Siblings,” raising funds with the help of friends to continue supporting his siblings’ education.

In July 2022, Courage’s life was tragically cut short when a counterfeit pain pill laced with fentanyl took his life.

The Courage Fund was created to continue the work he began — funding education for youth in Greater Accra, Ghana, to empower them with the knowledge and opportunities they deserve.

The Courage Fund is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
