Not For Sale Ghana

In a village on the shores of lake Volta lies a major hub for trafficked children amidst Ghanas fishing industry. Children as young as three are seen as favorable workers because their nimble fingers are able to release small fish from the masses of nets. Often they are put at great risk when forced to untangle nets below the waters surface. Many of these children are given only one meal a day, consisting of a single bowl of gari soaked in the lake water, resulting in undernourishment and serious health-related concerns.
Not For Sale seeks to improve the lives of all children forced to work under such harsh conditions, offering them opportunities for development and education.

THATS RIGHT

Don't forget that Ghana is a sovereign nation and its government must take part of the blame and responsibility for creating and solving this problem. At some point, foreign NGOs and foreign money must stop filling the void that the gov't of Ghana refuses to address.
