Tracy has always felt compelled to make a difference in the lives of people she sees around her. As a Social Work student at the University of Ghana, Tracy relished the opportunity to learn more about this inherent passion, and figure out ways to put it into action.
During her undergraduate studies in social work, she supported FOA's program initiatives as part of her concurrent fieldwork. It was during this time that she grew to love engaging with street residents and the Norviwo residents and she was eager to be part of the family.
"Even on my first day, everyone made me feel like I was part of the family, like we had known ourselves for years. They were so nice and engaging and it was such a pleasant experience for me.”
Now, Tracy serves as a Programs Coordinator with FOA. Her duties involve planning and coordinating our programming activities with street residents for Wellness Wednesday and Sunday Street Outreach.
Tracy is driven, she loves to learn new things and easily gets motivated by whatever she does, pushing and striving till it's done. In her spare time, she loves to sit behind a good movie, filled with lots of action, drama and suspense- an unsurprising pastime considering the work she does.
Every moment a child is off the streets and in the classroom is another moment for the Future of Africa.
Cyril fled his abusive home, seeking refuge on the streets where he learned to survive through sheer resilience. A chance encounter with TK and volunteers from Future of Africa rekindled his hope, setting him on a path towards achieving his dreams.
Nicholas recounts his journey with Future of Africa. Starting from the early days of simply distributing food on the streets, to the present where the lives of street children are being transformed through the FOA Scholars Program and the Norviwo Skills Training Program.
In the heart of Accra's bustling streets, FOA tirelessly works to reunite vulnerable street children with their families, fostering healing, reconciliation, and the promise of a brighter future.
