SCEF in partnership with major NGOs in Street Children situations and the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection, Social Welfare Department mark International Day for Street Children (IDSC2022).

As we mark this year’s International Day for Street Children, let’s all accept to have a role to play, a responsibility for children in street situations, and understand that it’s important to ensure street-connected children are listened to and that their access to essential services is on the agenda for the whole world.

My voluntary service at Street Children Empowerment Foundation (SCEF) was one of the best experiences in my work career because it was enlightening and an eye-opener. I was given first-hand experience in website management, news story writing, video editing, voice-over recording, creating a captivating social media post, and capturing a professional video. During all these processes, I was very much involved in the day-to-day activities and also given the space to be creative.

Reflecting on my first day at SCEF, it was one of the most memorable days of my time at work. After being introduced to everyone, I was oriented on the past and current projects ongoing. I was asked for recommendations to improve certain aspects of the projects.

The communications department staff where I was placed were very open and happy for me to contribute as much as I wanted and welcomed my suggestions and ideas. This instantly made me feel comfortable as part of the team. Everybody at the organization was very accommodating and always willing to aid and educate me in other departments.
Thank you SCEF for the opportunity, God bless you for touching and changing the lives of street children.

You can also be part of SCEF by joining our offsite community volunteers program. SCEF is always happy to have you make an impact in the lives of children in street situations.

Earlier this year, SCEF in partnership with Eunice Lynch , social impact coordinator of International School of Geneva started a Penpal Project. An initiative to embed sociocultural skills, to improve writing and reading skills as well as to know the activities and challenges of street-connected children.

The project has successfully paired 14 students based on their common interests. Theophilus pictured here has had a wonderful connection with his penpal who is also interested in sports just like him and turned out to exchange sports equipment with him.

This project is also a reformative action for our Children in Hazardous Work ( CHaW) program to improve the writing and reading skills of street-connected children and better prepare them for life.

Women across the globe have experienced inequalities in areas ranging from education to domestic burdens, politics among others. According to a report by World Bank, as of 2020, gender equality in Ghana was at 1% which is quite alarming.

But imagine a world free from all biases, stereotypes, and discrimination; a diverse, equitable, and inclusive world. Hence, at SCEF we support the move to forge women's equality. Together, we can all #breakthebias on International Women's Day and beyond.

On Tuesday, March 8, International Women's Day will be observed under the theme "Gender Equality for a Sustainable Tomorrow".

The campaign theme for the celebration is Break the Bias. Bias, whether intentional or unintentional, makes it difficult for women to advance. Recognizing bias isn't enough; action is required to level the playing field.

Collectively we can #breakthebias

Sexual education is essential and must be given to avoid misinformation and ignorance among the youth, especially the street children.
Sexual Reproductive Health Rights workshop had a successful impact on our +18 Street-connected children.

We thank our partners from Planned Parenthood Association of Ghana (PPAG) for their support, we look forward to having the second phase.

Promiscuous sex without sexual knowledge is the order of the day . Valentine's day in the corner creates a much bigger concern . SCEF Center for Grassroot Enterprise CGE, in collaboration with Planned Parenthood Association of Ghana, (PPAG) presents the Sexual Reproductive Health Rights Workshop in recognition of SRHR day (12 February) used to raise awareness on sexual and reproductive health issues to reduce the spread of sexually transmitted diseases. This is one of the major public health concerns worldwide. At SCEF, this is also a program under our YES for Adolescent Sexual Health (YASH) project that aims to increase adolescent sexual health in Ghana by enabling human rights to sexual information and education to prevent issues such as sexual abuse, STI's and teenage pregnancy, this serve as an approach to prevent children from dropping out of school as a result of lacking sexual reproductive health education.
