\n\t\tWho we stand up for\n\t<\/h2>\n\t

The heart of Safe Haven beats above all for street children and the less privileged. It is estimated that between 30,000 and 50,000 children live on the streets of Accra. These children have had one tragic experience or another, such as the death of their parents, abandonment by a parent or other family members, violence and abuse (sexual, physical and emotional), poverty or simply the hope of a better life in the big city. The street children survive their fate by, for example, cleaning the streets and markets, helping weak and disabled people, collecting and sorting rubbish, carrying goods around the market, begging and unfortunately also getting involved in petty crime such as pickpocketing and food theft.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\"Safe\n\t

Not only do these children have to spend their time in a dangerous environment without support, supervision or protection, but they are also deprived of their right to education. They are denied the opportunity to build a life or a career, and so the cycle continues. They are denied hope. Diseases can spread easily due to a lack of hygiene. Lack of education and sexual abuse often lead to unwanted pregnancies. Children who are born into a life on the streets have a very uncertain future ahead of them. Society has no place for street children and governments offer little support for them. The high unemployment rate in Ghana and the fact that employers favour children because they are cheaper and easier to exploit than adults mean that children are often the main breadwinners for their families. There is a terrible stigma attached to being a \"street child\". They are mistreated, seen as worthless and labelled as \"criminals\" and \"market vultures\".<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\"We are passionate about changing the image in this area of society and giving hope and a future to children who never had a chance at a good start in life in the first place.\"\n\t<\/h4>\n
