When a child leaves the street and stays home and goes to school, what made that possible?
It was not one big intervention. It was a social worker who met that child and asked: How are you? What do you like to play with? What do you love doing? What are you very good at?
It is a social worker who sat with a mother and asked: How are you? What do you want for your children? What is already working in your life?
That is how Chance for Children works. We call it resource-oriented โ because we start with what children, youth, family, community members and stakeholders already have and get them using it: a parent who cares, a community leader who acts, a young person who wants something better, a stakeholder who wants to get involved.
In 2025, that approach reached 4,500 street-connected children and youth, 750 families, and 14 communities across Ghana.
Over the coming weeks, we will share the real stories behind those numbers โ a family that stood back up, a community that now protects its own children, a young person who went from the street to a skills programme and found employment , and a child who walked back into a classroom.
Each story starts with a strength someone already has. We just helped them use it.
