Safe-Child Advocacy, Talithakum network, JPIC & the Anti-Trafficking Police Unit marks the 2024 Street Children International Day in Kumasi.

The Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul at Safe-Child Advocacy Catholic Archdiocese of Kumasi- Ghana marks International Street Children Day in collaboration with Adamfo Ghana, the Anti-Trafficking Unit of the Ghana Police Service, Justice, Peace & Integrity of Creation, Talithakum Ghana network, and Chance for Children Kumasi.

 

As part of activities to commemorate this year International Day for Street Children, SCA on April 12, held a workshop on the “Survive led mentorship” programme for girls & young women in street situations.

The workshop was to educate the target group on the risks of living on the street and to offer them knowledge and skills to protect themselves against human trafficking and other predators likely to meet them on the street.

The workshop brought women who have survived tough life situations who freely shared with the girls in small groups. The interaction was lively and offered great mentorship space. Participants were delighted and expressed thus, “we felt belong and one with everyone.” This outcome actualized the theme for the day. See pictures of the program here:
