WHO WE ARE

Safe-Child Advocacy (SCA) is a non-profit organisation focused on assisting children, youths, and women in vulnerable situations, such as those living on the streets, in abusive situations, victims of human trafficking, domestic violence, child marriage, and children in situations characterized by extreme poverty.

About Us

Safe-Child Advocacy (SCA) is a Non-governmental and Non-profit making organization concerned about the plight of vulnerable children, particularly young girls who live and work on the streets of Kumasi, Ghana. The Project was established in 2005 by the Catholic Archdiocese of Kumasi to address the needs of helpless children (male and female) who live on the streets of Kumasi.

Safe-Child Advocacy (SCA) is managed by the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent De Paul, a female religious congregation founded in France, in 1633 by St. Vincent De Paul and St. Louise De Marillac for the service of the poor. The Daughters of Charity have their general headquarters in Paris- France and their Provincial headquarters in Nigeria- West Africa.

General Objective

Safe-Child Advocacy formerly Street Children Project seeks to be a support system for all children in street situation and assist them towards rehabilitation, through street education, reintegration into families and access to basic education or skill training.

Our Mission

We uphold safe childhood for all children and the realization of the Rights of the Child; We commit to address the root-causes of child streetism through collaboration and advocacy; to empower children in street and other vulnerable situations, by providing opportunities for reintegration, formal education, and enterprise development.

Our Vision

To foster a society where children enjoy safe childhood and develop their potentials to the fullest

If you have passion for children, volunteer in Ghana, Kumasi at Safe-Child Advocacy (SCA) and extend a hand of friendship to the vulnerable youth. With increasing poverty and lack of education in Ghana, the number of abandoned children is escalating by the day. A lot of children in Ghana have ended up living on the streets. Left to fend for themselves on the streets, the children get often involved with illegal activities. Street Children Project collaborates with several organizations, local and international to reach out to these children and give them the support they need. By volunteering you will provide support in the rehabilitation process, safety and education by creating a safe and healthy environment for them to grow up in.
