Street Children Empowerment Foundation (SCEF) Transforming the lives of street-connected children through holistic empowerment and advocacy. Values:
1. Your support can make a significant difference.

Welcome to the Street Children Empowerment Foundation (SCEF), where we are revolutionizing the way we empower and support street-connected children in Ghana. Who We Are:
At SCEF, we are a forward-thinking nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering street-connected children and creating a lasting impact in their lives. We believe that every child deserves a chance to thrive, regardless of their circumstances. With our innovative programs and inclusive approach, we are breaking barriers and transforming the lives of Street-connected children in Ghana. Our Vision:
We envision a Ghana where every street-connected child regardless of their differences, has equal opportunities to reach their fullest potential. Our Mission:
Our mission is to provide holistic support and empowerment to street-connected children, equipping them with the skills, resources, and opportunities they need to rise above their circumstances and lead fulfilling lives. By addressing the root causes of their street situations and working towards their reintegration into society, we are paving the way for a brighter future for Street-connected children in Ghana. Empowerment: We believe in empowering street-connected children by providing them with educational opportunities, skills training, and access to resources that build their self-esteem and confidence.
2. Inclusivity: We are committed to ensuring that all street-connected children, regardless of their background or circumstances, have equal access to our programs and services.
3. Collaboration: We actively seek partnerships and collaborate with government agencies, community organizations, and volunteers to maximize our impact and reach a wider network of street children.
4. Transparency: We maintain transparency in our operations, financial management, and decision-making processes, guided by ethical standards and accountability.
5. Compassion: We approach our work with empathy, understanding the unique challenges faced by street-connected children, and providing them with a safe and supportive environment. Our Programme and Services:

Our Children in Hazardous Work (CHaW) being the backbone of SCEF, believe that education is key to transforming lives. Our cutting-edge educational programs provide street-connected children with access to quality education that meets their unique needs, unlocking their potential and opening doors to a brighter future. Health and Well-being: The well-being of street-connected children is at the forefront of our efforts. We provide comprehensive healthcare services, ensuring that they receive regular check-ups, vaccinations, and access to necessary treatments. Our focus on nutrition, mental health counseling, and sexual reproductive health further supports their overall well-being. Reintegration and Family Reunification: We are committed to ensuring that every child has the opportunity to rebuild familial connections. Through our dedicated teams and community partnerships, we work towards reuniting street-connected children with their families, providing ongoing support and guidance during the reintegration process. Through our Center for Grassroot Enterprise, we equip street-connected youth, and families with practical skills through vocational training programs such as Urban Savings and Loan, Parental, and financial literacy. By developing their abilities in various fields, from technology to entrepreneurship, we empower them to become self-reliant and pursue meaningful careers.

5. Advocacy and Awareness: We amplify the voices of street-connected children, advocating for their rights and raising awareness among policymakers, communities, and stakeholders. By challenging societal perceptions and fostering empathy, we strive to create a society that embraces and supports the reintegration of street children. Impact:
Since our establishment, SCEF has positively transformed the lives of over 500 street-connected children through scholarships, over 10,000 children through complementary education, and social and community services through events, projects, and programs in Ghana, providing them with the tools and opportunities to break the cycle of street situations and poverty. Our interventions have resulted in increased school enrollment rates, improved health outcomes, and successful family reunifications. Join Us:

Match day against Fafali Foundation:

The JFC Well Girls took on the Girls team of the Fafali Foundation today. It was a 70min game with eight players in each team.
After a short warm up the match started, the first few minutes looked very promising. The Well Girls knew the pitch and played more confident than their opponents but after that the Fafali Girls managed to dominate the rest of the first half and also scored two goals.

The coaches used the water break to show the girls their mistakes, a crucial step and very successful as the Well Girls dominated the second half. The strategy of the coaches worked out as one of our girls managed to score an impressive goal. Sadly the second half didn’t last long enough, if they would have continued to play our team would have won. This way the Fafali Foundation won 2:1.

It was a very exciting match, everyone was engaged and cheered their teams up. It was also a fair match with little to none fouls and a respectful match without any antagonizing behavior. It showed how this program can have in impact on the behavior and the self esteem. We all saw some very confident girls but also know where we can work on to strengthen that further.

This will not be the last match against the Fafali Foundation, we will learn from our mistakes and come back stronger❤️💪⚽️

📚💻 World Literacy Day | 8 September

Literacy today goes beyond the pages of a book. It is about having the ability to read, understand, explore and use technology to access a world of knowledge.

Through SCEF’s Learning Hub, we bring reading and technology together to create richer learning opportunities for children. A love for books builds strong foundations, while access to technology helps children discover, research, create and connect with knowledge beyond the classroom.

Because when a child can read confidently and use technology meaningfully, new doors to learning and opportunity open.

This World Literacy Day, we celebrate the power of books and bytes, stories and screens, reading and digital skills in shaping brighter futures. 📖💻✨

Read. Learn. Explore. Connect.

🎒📚 BACK TO SCHOOL 2026

More than 200 children joined us for our just-ended Back to School event in James Town, with each child receiving a bag filled with essential supplies for the new school term.

Beyond the distribution, the children also took part in our Vision Mapping Activity and engaged with the Smart Wheel, creating a morning filled with learning, creativity, and dreams for the future.

Our sincere gratitude to our partner, Rotary Club of Accra Airport, and our sponsors, including Standout Foundation, as well as everyone who contributed to making this initiative possible.

Together, we are helping children return to school, ready to learn and ready to dream. 🌟

SCEF joins a powerful Children's Day celebration themed "Amplifying the Voices of Children on Child Abuse," organised by the Ministry of Children under the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection. 🇬🇭

SCEF is represented by 24 children from the Accra Dancers Movement, accompanied by our team. The event is entirely child-led children serve as MCs, moderators and panelists, leading discussions on child abuse, bullying, reporting and children's rights.

Our own Precious delivers a brilliant speech on the State of the Child, while the Accra Dancers Movement lights up the stage with an impressive drama and dance performance.

A proud and inspiring day for every child who speaks up. 💚

🌍💚 — one more sleep to go

What a build-up it's been.

Day 1 opened with words that set the tone for everything since:
"Africa does not need to be invited to the centre of its own development. A bird cannot fly on borrowed wings." — Dr Nana Asantewa Afadzinu, Executive Director, WACSI

"Africans and the diaspora bear ultimate responsibility for our own development. Development should be about hand-ups, not handouts." — Stella O., CEO, AFFORD UK

"If Africa is at the centre, then we must admit where Africa has been kept until now: at the margins of decisions about its own future." — Bell Ribeiro-Addy, UK Member of Parliament

Then yesterday took that spirit and made it personal. Participants were regrouped into families, each named for an African hero and an African nation. Our family — Kenya Lumumba — brought together Philemon from Vibrant Village Foundation (VVF), several of our fellow Africans, and Paul Semeh representing SCEF. The day wound down beautifully at the welcome dinner, where new friendships across organisations kept growing over good food and better conversation.

It's been speeches, bonds, and shared tables — all pointing to one thing.

Tomorrow, the Ghana Community-Led Development Collaborative takes that same spirit to the main stage, presenting our journey toward putting communities at the centre of development.

One more day. We'll be live. 🔴

🔴 HAPPENING NOW: Africa at the Centre begins today in Accra - but for the Ghana Community-Led Development Collaborative, the fire was already lit yesterday.

At our Korle Gonno 2.0 retreat at Hillburi Resort, we came together as a Collaborative for a day of grounding before the main convening. Tostan's facilitator, Dame - with 32 years of experience - walked us through the fundamentals of Community-Led Development and its connection to personal and community well-being, rooted in human dignity and human rights principles, before guiding us through setting up our own Community Management Committees (CMCs).

Our own Paul Semeh (SCEF Executive Director) had the privilege of co-facilitating inspiring sessions on the Collaborative's draft Communication Strategy - unpacking hard questions like:

1️⃣ What issue are we really trying to solve?
2️⃣ What's our solution - who are we, and why are we unique?
3️⃣ What future do we want to see for development?
4️⃣ What have we learned so far - and what's our story of change?

Today, as Africa at the Centre: Leading Change, Shifting Power begins its 3-day journey, we carry these reflections with us. By Day 3, we'll be building and stewarding the path forward - and we can't wait to share where this leads.
