Street Children SHALL BE LOVED, LIVE SAFE AND RECEIVE EDUCATION
For 25 years, Chance for Children (CFC) has worked to empower street-connected children and their families in Ghana. With a focus on continuous improvement and core values like honesty and continuous learning, CFC has expanded from its first center in La to multiple locations across the country.
We have helped thousands of former street children return to school, reunite with their families, and secure stable jobs. These children are now advocates for children’s rights, positively influencing their communities. CFC emphasizes the importance of family and community involvement, continually adapting its interventions to support children in challenging environments.
As we continue to grow, we remain committed to our individualized approach complemented with systemic interventions, advocating for street-connected children and helping them shape the best possible futures for themselves, their families, and communities.
In the coming years, we aim to create more long-term impact and growth by tailoring our interventions and leveraging our network of partners and digital tools.
My name is Moses, I adopted this name from the street, where I went through struggles, pains, and depression. I lost my father at a very tender age, and my mother was diagnosed with a mental disorder. I am a boy born and raised on the street of the Kaneshie market in Accra. I used to sleep on the bare floor with my mother and my 13 siblings.
I lost my twin sister because of hunger and one day I could no longer find my mother and my siblings. I began to feed myself at the age of 9. I walked on the waste to look for pieces of metal to resell them. I never wish anyone to become a scrap dealer. CFC sponsored me throughout my education, first within the Drop-in Centre, and then I stayed in the house and completed High School. I received great awards and certificates from the school as the best painting student. I am still furthering my education.
