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:

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.

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.

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.

A 5:2 Victory against the Sakumono Well Girls!
As always in the last weeks the girls played at Asyld Academy but today they trained together with the Well Girls of Sakumono again. The coaches agreed on a long match and less exercises so the girls played for more than an hour a 6vs6 match with multiple breaks and rotating players. After the Sakumono Girls were able to score two goals right at the beginning, it ended 5:2 for the Well Girls of Ghana Gas.
After this impressive comeback they enjoyed a mentorship session with COP Lydia Yaako Donkor, Director-General of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) and
Chairperson of the Police Ladies
Football Club learning about confidence, leadership and security regarding social media.
We are looking forward to work more closely with Sakumono Well Girlsโšฝ๏ธ๐Ÿ’ช

Every book tells a story, but the greatest story is the one it helps a child begin.

These heartfelt testimonials remind us that a single book can spark curiosity, build confidence, inspire dreams, and open doors to endless possibilities. To every child who received a book, thank you for sharing your joy and excitement. Your words are a beautiful reminder of why access to books matters.

Our deepest gratitude goes to Book Aid International UK for believing in the power of reading and for helping place books into the hands of children who are eager to learn, imagine, and grow.

Together, weโ€™re not just sharing books. weโ€™re nurturing readers, empowering learners, and shaping brighter futures, one page at a time.

๐ŸŽ’ A backpack may seem ordinary. To a child, it can mean everything.

As a new school year approaches, more than 250 street-connected and vulnerable children are getting ready for a journey that begins with something many of us take for granted: the right school supplies.
A backpack doesn't just carry books. It carries confidence, dignity, and the belief that every child deserves the chance to learn, dream, and succeed.

On 29th August 2026, SCEF's Back to School Initiative will equip children with the essentials they need to return to school prepared and hopeful.

Your support can help make that possible.

Let's ensure no child starts the school year empty-handedโœŠ๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ’›

After losing both parents at a young age, Emmanuel Lartey struggled to stay in school and nearly dropped out of Senior High School. Through consistent mentorship, monitoring, and encouragement from dedicated teachers, he regained focus and commitment to his education.

Today, Emmanuel has successfully completed Senior High School. His story highlights the transformative power of timely support and guidance in helping vulnerable young people achieve their potential.

๐Ÿ“š This month, under the Reading is Basic Project, Phase 3, year 1, we successfully distributed 2,200 African-themed books to 22 schools across the Accra Metropolitan Area.

These books will do far more than fill library shelvesโ€”they will inspire a love for reading, strengthen literacy, improve speaking skills, expand vocabulary, and help learners see themselves reflected in the stories they read.

This milestone would not have been possible without the unwavering support and collaboration of our valued partners. We extend our heartfelt appreciation to Book Aid International (UK) and the Ghana Education Service โ€“ Accra Metro Education Directorate for their commitment to ensuring children have access to quality, culturally relevant reading materials.

A lot of playtime and a new player for the Well Girls for todayโ€™s session!
We welcome Eunice from Jamestown to the team! Although she is already 17 years old the management will try their best to include her as she would have a huge impact for the performance of the girls. But not only Eunice got an opportunity to show off her skills today. After a warmup, that focused on passing, the girls had a lot of time to play 5vs5 matches. With the coaches as Goalkeepers and a lot of energy the girls had a great time. Even though the performance was already impressive, we could still learn! Mostly about the immense impact of teamwork and a clear and focused mind. We all hope that that Eunice will be able to stay with the Well Girls representing Jamestown with our other talented girls! ๐Ÿ’ชโšฝ๏ธ

This academic term alone, SCEF is supporting 62 children to ensure they can sit their end-of-term examinations.
But what about the children with no one standing beside them?

Our latest blog explores why strengthening child-centred social protection is essential if we are truly committed to leaving no child behind.

What policy changes do you think are needed to ensure every child can access education?

Today, Samuel and Steven read very eagerly and worked together really well. Once they were able to read the sentences, they tried to understand what they meant. After reading, they were so motivated that we did a dictation using words from the book. They did a really great job๐Ÿค—

Laughter, curiosity, and eager hands filled the air as NSPs Hilda and Michael guided a group of children through an interactive Mobile School session. Using the colorful educational panels, the children enthusiastically matched pictures and letters, read aloud, and took part in fun learning games. Every activity encouraged participation, built confidence, and made learning an enjoyable experience.

By bringing education directly into the community, the Mobile School removes barriers that often prevent children from accessing quality learning opportunities. Instead of waiting for children to come to the classroom, the classroom comes to them, creating a safe, engaging, and inclusive space where every child can learn.

This session demonstrated that learning does not have to be confined to four walls. With creativity, dedicated facilitators, and the right tools, the Mobile School transforms ordinary community spaces into vibrant classrooms, inspiring children to read, count, think critically, and dream of a brighter future.
