Future of Africa’s work begins by reaching out to street residents and inspiring them using fun games and literacy activities to build meaningful and long-lasting relationships.
"Let's Go!"
Every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday you can find our FOA staff and leaders hanging out with children in street situations at the Opeibea intersection. There, we're serving hot meals, participating in small group chats about life on the streets, sharing personal experiences, and responding to medical situations.
The primary goal of Midzo is to listen, empathize, and inspire street residents to either go back home or join our Miahaya program. Using fun games and literacy activities, our team at Future of Africa helps to build meaningful and long-lasting relationships with children in street situations.
We wouldn't be able to make the impact we do without the help of our volunteers who donate their time on the streets of Accra every week.
Make A Donation Become A VolunteerAt Midzo our staff and volunteers identify street residents between the ages of 13-15 years, who meet the criteria for Miahaya, our holistic wellness program.
Our team documents weekly interactions to enable Future of Africa to learn more about our beneficiaries and their experiences. We pay special attention to interactions with young girls as they are the most exploited and
vulnerable on the streets.
As a result of FOA’s consistent presence in the streets, we have become a trusted first-responder to several emergency medical situations our street residents experience—from extreme malaria, hit and runs, stab wounds, and serious infections.
The children we serve have access to our 24 hours emergency line when they need urgent care.
At Midzo our volunteers have unique experiences that impact their lives. Volunteers have donated over 7000 hours and served over 16,800 meals. The FOA team has over 700 monthly interactions with street residents and responds to on average 10 health incidents a month.
Every moment a child is off the streets and in the classroom is another moment for the Future of Africa.
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.
