ANNUAL IMPACT REPORT 201902

WHO DO WE SERVE?OAfrica exists to support vulnerable children and their families in Ghana. Our programmes empower children and young adults in need of care and protection due to institutionalization, abandonment, neglect, disability or abuse. We accomplish this by strengthening families and reintegrating separated children whose rights have been compromised due to poverty, violence, trafficking, disease and discrimination into safe, stable and loving households.

We provide the following core services to beneficiaries on our support:

• Tracing and Reunification of Separated Children• Support to Foster Families• Specialised Foster Care• Social Worker Visits• Income Generating Activities• Counselling Services to Families• Positive Parenting Training• Educational Support• Medical Support• Support for Families Living with HIV• Cash Transfers• Accommodation Support• Utilities

All the children and young adults supported today entered the programme because they met at least 3 of the following criteria for inclusion:

• Abandoned/risk of being abandoned• Abused• Affected or Infected with HIV AIDS• At Risk of Being Institutionalized• Caregiver or Parent Mentally Ill• Child in Need of Alternative Family Care• Single or Double Orphan• Ex-foster Care Resident• Ex-orphanage Resident or Residents of Other Institutions• Institutionalized• Learning Difficulties• Living on the Streets• Neglected• Out of School• Placement Failed• Unable to Pay School Fees• With Special Needs• Victims of Child Labour• In Conflict With the Law• Victims of Trafficking

TRIBUTE TO PLATINI Sadly, in November we lost our powerful champion of Child Rights Advocacy. He was a spokesperson for OAfrica for 15 years and stood for a violence-free society for children and carried out his work with great passion and integrity.


In 2019 we championed our advocacy campaign #KidsOurFuture, supported by the European Union, to effectuate grassroots change with 14 child rights workshops, throughout Ghana. The campaign culminated in the biggest NGO forum the country has ever seen, the Ghana NGO Forum, held on the 1st of October 2019, at the University of Ghana, bringing together over 800 participants from 377 child centered NGOs’ and CSO’s.

It became evident during the forum discussions that the inadequate budget allocation for children as well as governments’ failure to release the total allocated budget were key factors that presented major challenges for all those working with children. Out of 72.6 million only 33.1% was disbursed for child protection (2017 Unicef child protection budget brief).

Our EU funded research by the Department Of Children, showed that children in Ghana are still experiencing unacceptable levels of physical violence at home with 50.8% disciplined through caning and whipping, and 7.7%, by physical punishment with bare hands. We therefore focused our 2019 campaign on bringing this to the attention of all stakeholders, the media, government and the general public. We call on all Ghanaians to fight for a society that prioritizes care and protection of children.

Our core programs, significantly reduced vulnerabilities for 47 children - proof that our interventions are most definitely life changing - as well as 58 young adults who were given access to both secondary and tertiary education through our initiatives. We are so proud of them!

Join the OAfrica family and support our cause!
