About the charity

AfriKids is a grass roots child rights organisation working to improve life for Ghana's most vulnerable and disadvantaged children. Our philosophy is to:

* Listen to what a community knows it needs

* Empower them to make the necessary changes themselves

* Ensure absolute sustainability

Afrikids work ranges from the more traditional children's project including foster homes, schools and street child centres to more groundbreaking initiatives which tackle complex cultural issues including child trafficking, child labour and the spirit child phenomenon. Rather than spreading out work across a continent or focusing on a single 'headline' issue, AfriKids has invested time and resources in making real and fundamental change to the society and economy of one region. By doing this AfriKids has uncovered the extraordinary passion and ability of the local people there and is achieving something unique; genuine sustainability.
