SOS Children's Villages in Ghana

SOS Children's Villages in Ghana SOS Children’s Villages Ghana is a non-profit, non-governmental, social development organisation

SOS Children’s Villages in Ghana is the local branch of an international humanitarian organization that provides abandoned and destitute children with safe, stable homes and loving families. These families live in clusters of about 10 to 15 family houses integrated into existing communities. Children stay with their SOS families in these Villages until they are grown, and they leave equipped with good education,
motivation and the strength of a stable and supportive family. In Ghana, the first SOS Children’s Village was established in 1974 at Tema to cater for the needs of abandoned Ghanaian children. Over the years, three more villages have been built in Asiakwa, Kumasi and Tamale and over 450 children have found a loving home in our villages.

Beyond Policy: Financing Child Protection to Secure Every Child’s Future

SOS Children’s Villages in Ghana, in partnership with JoyNews, successfully convened the National Dialogue on Financing Child Protection in Ghana at Mensvic Grand Hotel, East Legon, Accra.

The dialogue brought together government representatives, policymakers, civil society organisations, development partners, the private sector, the media and other child protection stakeholders to discuss how Ghana can strengthen and sustain investment in child protection.

Ghana has established important laws, policies and systems to protect children. However, translating these commitments into meaningful and lasting outcomes requires adequate and sustainable financing, strong institutions, coordinated action and accountability.

The dialogue therefore moved "beyond policy to practical action, exploring approaches to financing child protection, strengthening community and statutory systems, and ensuring that children and families can access the protection and support they need.

As stakeholders reflect on the discussions and commitments made, the message is clear: "investing in child protection is investing in Ghana’s children, families and future".

Thank you to all partners, speakers, stakeholders and participants who contributed to this important national conversation. Thank you to the government of Norway for the funding support through Norad

Protecting Children. Strengthening Families. Transforming Lives.

Today, SOS Children’s Villages in Ghana convened its Annual General Meeting (AGM), a moment to reflect on the 2025 programme year, highlight impact, strengthen accountability and look into the work that lies ahead.

From leadership and governance to partnerships, audited accounts and, most importantly, the journeys of transformation of the children, young people and families we serve.

This year's annual general meeting was about asking one important question:

How do we continue building a future where every child can grow up in a loving, supportive and secure family environment?

As we share our progress, we are reminded that behind every number in a report is a human story of resilience, opportunity, family and hope.

Here’s to another year of protecting children, strengthening families and empowering communities.

SPARK Change-Makers: Baseline Study and Organisational Capacity Assessment

As part of the SPARK Change-Makers Project, SOS Children’s Villages in Ghana, in collaboration with Petal Consultancy, undertook baseline data collection and an Organisational Capacity Assessment (OCA) across selected project locations.

The exercise brought together key stakeholders within the youth development and entrepreneurship ecosystem, including Regional Coordinating Councils, the Youth Employment Agency (YEA), Ghana Enterprises Agency (GEA), Ghana Centre for Youth Excellence (GCYE), youth-led and youth-focused social enterprises, and young entrepreneurs. Engagements were also held with Songtaba and Social Innovation Africa, consortium partners under the project, to gather institutional perspectives and insights to inform implementation.

The engagements provided valuable insights into existing capacities, opportunities, challenges and the broader ecosystem supporting youth participation, entrepreneurship and civic engagement.

The findings will establish a strong evidence base for tracking and measuring the project's progress, while the OCA will help identify organisational capacity gaps and inform the development of targeted training curricula and capacity-strengthening interventions.

Through evidence-driven and context-responsive programming, the SPARK Change-Makers Project continues to strengthen opportunities for young people and the organisations that support them.

Advancing Youth Participation and Policy Engagement at the 2026 National Youth Conference.

SOS Children’s Villages in Ghana has participated in the 2026 National Youth Conference, held at the Great Hall of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) in Kumasi, as part of the National Youth Month celebrations.

Under the theme "Rebuilding Values, Inspiring Patriotism: Empowering the Youth in the Digital Age", the conference provided an important platform for dialogue on youth participation, responsible digital citizenship, employment and entrepreneurship, innovation, governance, peacebuilding and social cohesion.

As part of the conference programme, the SPARK Change-Makers project team, led by Mr Rex Babo, Coordinator, contributed to discussions on strengthening the capacity of young people and youth-led and youth-focused civil society organisations to participate effectively in public affairs, policy dialogue and advocacy.

The SPARK Change-Makers Project is a three-year initiative funded by the European Union in Ghana (EU) and implemented by a consortium led by SOS Children’s Villages, in partnership with Songtaba and Social Innovation Hub. The project is being implemented across Greater Accra, Ashanti, Western, Volta, Northern and Upper East Regions, with a focus on strengthening youth-led civic engagement and advancing the socio-economic empowerment of young social entrepreneurs and change-makers.

Through capacity building, networking, advocacy, financial support for innovative community solutions and opportunities for policy engagement, the SPARK Change-makers project seeks to strengthen young people’s ability to influence decisions affecting their lives and contribute to sustainable development.

SOS Children's Villages in Ghana remains committed to working with young people, civil society, government, development partners and other stakeholders to strengthen meaningful youth participation and create an enabling environment where young people are empowered to contribute to sustainable national development.
