Queen of Sheba Health Services

What Queen of Sheba Health Services does

Queen of Sheba Health Services is a Ghanaian non-governmental organization (NGO) headquartered in Gushegu, Northern Region, with the stated mission of "bringing life with love" to mothers and children in an area where approximately 40% of women give birth at home without skilled assistance. The organization operates four integrated programmatic areas: (1) construction of the Queen of Sheba Medical Center, a maternity clinic featuring one-person delivery rooms with family-accompaniment options, ultrasound scans, basic medical care, and essential laboratory tests; (2) community health education programs covering pregnancy, childbirth, nutrition, and disease prevention, delivered to pregnant women, expectant fathers, village chiefs, traditional midwives, and religious leaders; (3) practical medical training for midwives, nurses, and other healthcare staff; and (4) ongoing medical-anthropological research on maternal and child health in the Gushegu region. Founded by Dr. Gerben Boon (and family) following years of regional research and a relocation to Ghana around 2017, the NGO acquired its clinic site in September 2019 and broke ground on the medical center in January 2024 after a successful Christmas 2023 fundraising campaign.

The organization's revenue model is entirely donor-funded, with no commercial service revenue currently generated. Donations from the Netherlands are managed by Stichting Share Light with Ghana (Project Share Nederland), an ANBI-registered Dutch foundation (KVK 27348004) based in Apeldoorn, which makes Dutch gifts tax-deductible. Individual giving is structured around tangible items such as EUR 1 "brick purchases" and targeted project gifts (e.g., EUR 5,000 sanitation, EUR 10,000 generator). A second, growing funding stream emerged in September 2024 when Babypark — described as the largest baby store in the Netherlands — joined as a key corporate sponsor. Distribution is direct-to-beneficiary: services will be delivered on-site at the future medical center and through community outreach into surrounding villages, while fundraising distribution is handled through the Dutch foundation.

The organization is currently pre-revenue on the service side (clinic under construction), with 1–10 employees, a Dutch contact address in Koudekerk aan den Rijn, and a Ghanaian postal address (PO Box TL 2712, Tamale). It maintains regulatory legitimacy through NGO registration in Ghana and ANBI status in the Netherlands, and differentiates through culturally sensitive care models, family-inclusive delivery room design, and a faith-inspired mission framing.
