Situation
There are over 20,000 street children in Kumasi. It is really hard being a young woman and living on the streets. It poses constant threat and worry. Street girls don't get the chance to go to school, eat regular meals, wash with clean water and they don't get to feel safe. Most street girls spend their days trying to earn a small amount of money each day so they can buy food and water and support their siblings. Living on the streets offers little chance for a girl to have a happy future.
Solution
Our Women's Refuge is in a safe, residential area of Kumasi. It is a secure place for any young woman who needs a safe place to stay off the streets. At the Centre, we offer a full time formal education with vocational and life skills. We provide regular meals and washing facilities so girls can live in dignity. We help them work towards creating a sustainable and financially independent future with 24/7 guidance and support from our full time live in centre manager.
