Welcome to Cool & Friends Charitable Foundation
Hi there! We’re COOL AND FRIENDS CHARITABLE FOUNDATION (CAFCAF)
A people-first, heart-led charity committed to making a tangible difference in the lives of vulnerable people across Africa, especially Ghana.
Founded by the ever-smiling Charles “Mr. Cool” Dickson, we’re here to serve.
CAFCAF stands out because we don’t just talk about change — we create it.
of the global population continues to live in extreme poverty
Notably, 67% of these individuals reside in Sub-Saharan Africa.
At CAFCAF, our mission is simple yet powerful:
To serve with love and dignity — reaching the most vulnerable, without discrimination, and helping them live better, fuller lives.
Whether in urban streets or remote villages, we bring hope, skills, and support to those often overlooked — from the disabled and orphaned to the poor, blind, and elderly. We believe every life matters and deserves compassion.
A world where no one is forgotten, and kindness knows no boundaries.
We envision thriving communities in Africa and beyond — where people, no matter their background or condition, are equipped, empowered, and embraced with open arms. Through inclusive outreach and real action, we aim to be a global model for heartfelt, grassroots service.
These are the principles we live by and serve:
We serve all — no matter race, religion, age, ability, or status. No exceptions.
Every person deserves respect. Always.
We don’t just make promises — we follow through, on the ground and online.
We serve with smiles, humour, and heart — because kindness should feel good.
Our work is open, honest, and people-focused. You see where your support goes.
On behalf of our entire team, I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the incredible individuals and organizations whose generous contributions—both in kind and in spirit—have brought hope, happiness, and cheer to vulnerable lives around the world.
Your kindness will never be forgotten.

“I honestly didn’t expect much when I reached out — but CAFCAF showed up for me like family. They didn’t just give me help, they gave me hope. Forever grateful.”
“Mr. Cool and his team? Legends. No judgment, just support. They helped my son get training in carpentry, and now he’s working and proud. Thank you, CAFCAF!”
“I volunteered for a month and ended up staying a year. This organisation is pure heart. If you want to see kindness in action — this is the place.”
