The School of Night Rabbits£7,500 annual running cost
The School of Night Rabbits runs two nights a week in Bolgatanga. After schools have closed and the street children’s last g g g gchance of work has left with the travelling market they make their way to their classes next to the AfriKids Academy. They learn English and Maths, they learn about the environment around them, the society they live in and their rights in their vernacular language Fra Fra. Once a week they play games and they always receive food, water to wash and recognition of their hard work. Every child who attends classes consecutively three months in a row receives an AfriKids t‐shirt.
Practical skills and small recognitions changes life for these children. They have been taught to beg, to steal, to live outsideof society. The School of Night Rabbits gives them dignity, a sense of self worth and a chance at a life beyond subsistence. y g g g y, y
Any child with the capacity and commitment to do well in school is supported to take on full time education. Older children ready to move into work or vocational training are assisted and mentored. 100 children a year go through the school, 100 lives transformed.
“If you tell any child over and over again that they are thl d t i t ti th illworthless and a menace to society, over time they will
come to believe it, not only will they lose respect for themselves but
they will also loose respect for everyone and everything. This is the making of criminals, not the street, the street is the place that allows them to eat”AfriKids’ fieldworker

Operation Sirigu tackles the problems surrounding the belief in spirit children in the rural communities of the Kassena Nankana District. The project promotes women’s rights through micro‐finance and community health talks and it improves their healthcare so that fewer children are born with complications and fewer mothers die in child birth. The project also

Perhaps the most active participants in the project are the children themselves. Through child rights clubs in which they campaign with drama, song and dance and through which they drive the debate forward with competitive quizzes and inter school debates, they are pushing the agenda of their elders to include their rights and those of children less fortunate than themselves

“A father came up to me last week and said that when his daughter marries he will send the dowry
to AfriKids. He says we are the ones who have added value and meaning to her life and so it is we who should receive the dowry and decide what is
done with it”Raymond Ayinne – Project Manager

Operation Fresh Start£75,000 annual running cost
Operation Fresh Start is a ground breaking project that addresses the flow of young people from northern Ghana to the streets of the southern cities. Some are trafficked, some go by choice, all are failed by what they meet on arrival. On the streets lives of drugs, indentured slavery, prostitution and crime threaten to drag these young people down and few ever return homehome.
Until 2005 government and NGO projects to resettle these young people had failed. That year we launched Operation Fresh Start, to do three things;
Resettle children from the slums of Kumasi with their families and support them through education or vocationalfamilies and support them through education or vocational trainingRaise awareness in the communities about child trafficking and the situation in Kumasi so that young people can make informed decisions about their lifeEncourage collaboration and replication between NGOs to tackle the problems of migration and trafficking
So far the project has resettled 155 children, raised the understanding of over 45,000 people and 150 NGOs. Next year we will extend the project to give more young people a Fresh Start in life.
