With our past successes in strategy im

plementation and well-docum

ented service delivery to vulnerable children, it was alm

ost a natural progression for OAfrica to scale

up our reach in order to impact the vulnerable children in our society.

While m

aintaining our core programs in Fam

ily Support Services, Special Needs, Foster Care in the Com

munity and Young Adult Services, we intensified our ties with

partners such as governmental agencies in charge of caring for children and non-

profits promoting children’s rights. W

e also diversified our fundraising efforts towards advocacy with a view to achieving an even greater num

ber of beneficiaries.

With funding from

The European Union, we successfully rolled out our very first m

ajor advocacy campaign dubbed #KidsO

urFuture. This campaign seeks to protect

the rights of children in Ghana. W

e are already seeing the massive shift in public

perception towards the child beggars on our streets especially in Greater Accra.

We believe that scaling up our reach through advocacy is the way to change hearts

and minds, influence behaviour and witness the transform

ation we are all working towards in order to create an enabling environm

ent in which children grow and thrive. W

e encourage you all to join in and support our cause!

Our em

phasis on advocacy reached new heights during 2018. In line w

ith our long-term

strategy of extending our reach and maxim

izing impact, the

objective of the #KidsOurFuture initiative is to increase the aw

areness of child rights and the need for child protection in G

hana. Funded by the European U

nion, #KidsOurFuture aim

s to strengthen child protection mechanism

s and address the gap betw

een legislation and practice.

In 2018 the project focused on the issue of urban child begging, which is

considered one of the worst form

s of child labour, as it keeps children out of school, separates them

from their fam

ilies, and exposes to them to hazardous

living conditions.

In recent years, there has been a surge in the number of child beggars - not

only children from G

hana, but also from w

ithin the sub-region, particularly

Niger. M

ost importantly, w

e were able to prove strong links to child trafficking

through research by Anas Aremeyaw

Anas, the famous G

hanaian investigative journalist. This culm

inated in a short film, w

ith an exclusive soundtrack by Stonebw

oy, which w

as shown extensively on TV in G

hana.

A second pillar to this campaign is the Positive Parenting initiative, com

prising locally produced videos that dissem

inate educational messages on topics

related to better parenting practices.W

e also offered nation-wide trainings of 1050 social w

orkers and other stakeholders such as police, detectives and N

GO

s.

We are very proud to be spearheading the m

ovement for change; w

orking alongside the governm

ent of Ghana through the D

epartment of Social

Welfare and the M

inistry of Gender, C

hildren and Social Protection. 2018 w

as truly the year of advocacy for us and we aim

to continue with this focus

into 2019 and beyond!

FAMILY

SUPPORT SERVICES

Poverty remains the num

ber one reason for child abandonment w

orldwide. C

hildren are often placed in orphanages by their ow

n families due to a lack of resources in the hope they w

ill receive adequate nutrition, education and other essentials in order to live a better life. In reality, these institutions are detrim

ental to the physical, em

otional and intellectual development of children and can never provide the love and care

a child needs in order to thrive. Children in G

hana are often too quickly deemed orphans and placed in

institutions without exploring alternative options such as kinship care, an arrangem

ent whereby extended

family m

embers such as grandparents or aunts/uncles raise children.

Family Support Services (FSS) have the sole aim

of keeping children out of orphanages and within their

own fam

ilies. We believe fam

ilies are the best environments for children to grow

up in and that the family

unit should be preserved wherever possible. W

ith the right kind of support, families can stay together!

We locate fam

ilies and assess whether the child can be resettled w

ith them. An individualized care plan

is developed to ensure that these families are assisted financially to care for their children, along w

ith m

edical, educational and emotional support. This year, 56 children have benefitted from

the program.

For children who cannot live w

ith their biological family (due to death or illness of parents, or inappropriate

and negligent parenting), foster care is the next best alternative, as it provides children with a relationship

of love and affection with a caring adult in a stable fam

ily environment.

Many of the children in our foster care program

were abandoned due to the fact that they had special

needs and their families w

ere either unable or unwilling to provide them

with the extensive long-term

care they required. For these children, our dedicated foster hom

e is a place of refuge - providing care, love and support.

All our children in foster care are looked after by specially trained foster mothers, w

ho not only provide for their daily needs but also, m

ore importantly, give them

the love and affection they deserve.

Eighteen children are benefitting from the love of a foster fam

ily thanks to this program.

Children w

ith special needs are most at risk of abandonm

ent, either to orphanages or the streets. These children require specialized care, som

ething most fam

ilies are simply not capable of providing – either

financially or physically. OAfrica provides this care through our dedicated special needs unit, involving a

foster home staffed around the clock by six trained foster m

others, who not only serve as caregivers but

also provide the eight children in their care with love and affection.

Our support to children w

ith severe special needs, including those with cerebral palsy, autism

, psychosis and other disabilities, also extends to education. C

hildren receive a specialized education catering to their unique cognitive and physical conditions. A total of eleven children w

ith complex special needs are

supported through our medical and educational sponsorship program

Youth who grow up in care are more likely to experience physical, developm

ental, behavioural and mental

health challenges, if not supported adequately until they are ready to live independently.

We address this through the Young Adult Support Services (YASS) program

, which focuses on reducing the vulnerability status of beneficiaries gradually over tim

e, and supporting them in their transition out of care.

YASS provides financial support to 55 young adults to cover tuition, access to internships and scholarships, health and psychological support, transport and housing benefits, in addition to career counselling and placem

ents. It also provides life skills training sessions to equip young people with the tools they need to becom

e productive mem

bers of society. The end goal is to prepare these young people for autonomous

adulthood.

Undoubtedly, the highlight of 2018 was witnessing 2 of our young ladies graduate with university degrees!

10CAREREFORMINITIATIVE

The Care R

eform Initiative (C

RI) w

as launched in 2006 as a joint venture between the D

epartment of

Social Welfare (D

SW), O

Africa, UN

ICEF and other child protection agencies in G

hana. The initiative seeks to reduce over-reliance on care system

s for the approximately 4,500 vulnerable children w

ho are still living in institutional care, thus m

oving towards a range of integrated fam

ily and comm

unity-based childcare services.

The end goal is a more consistent approach to caring for vulnerable children so that every child is

assured a permanent hom

e in a supportive and loving family. The m

ain components of care reform

in G

hana seek to prevent the disintegration of families. In line w

ith this initiative, our mission advocates

for the reintegration of children with their ow

n families, either w

ith their biological parents or extended fam

ily (kinship care) or placing children in foster care when they truly have no fam

ily mem

bers who

can appropriately care for them.

OAfrica is proud to have been one of the key players behind the adoption of the N

ational Plan of Action for O

rphans and Vulnerable Children in 2010 and w

as the only NG

O m

entioned as an implem

enter in the actions m

atrix of the original plan.

We apply a tw

o-pronged approach to advocacy, namely via traditional and new

media and additionally,

through public forums - to bring aw

areness to issues impacting everyday G

hanaians with a view

to instigating sustainable change - in behaviour, attitudes and even policies. W

ith mobile penetration in

Ghana at an im

pressive 130% (D

igital 2019 Ghana), the pow

er of social and mobile m

edia permits

the transmission of educational m

essages on a mass scale, thanks to their viral nature. W

e have reached an estim

ated 11,598,552 individuals through our media advocacy.

While TV, radio, print and social m

edia remain effective channels of com

munication; there is an

opportunity to explore alternative platforms at m

ass gatherings such as music concerts, street

theatre and rallies. We aim

to reach as many people as possible and to m

ake a positive and tangible difference to the lives of G

hanaians.

Since launching in early 2017, we have prom

oted our advocacy programs on various leading TV and

Radio stations, and through social m

edia, impacting even greater audiences. W

e aim to continue

our work highlighting pertinent subjects regarding child rights and cam

paigning for social change w

ith programs focusing on em

powerm

ent and resilience building at grass-roots level. We believe

that, when you uplift com

munities w

ithin society, a ripple effect occurs and the positive impacts

thereof are far-reaching.
