Service and Street Outreach

First Step - Inspiring Hope

Future of Africa's work begins by empowering high school and university students to become compassionate changemakers through hands-on experiences in delivering meals, first-aid, and emotional support to youth living on the streets.

Service & Street Outreach

Every Sunday evening, FOA staff and volunteers gather at Kantamanto and East-Legon to engage with children living in street situations. This outreach provides immediate relief through hot meals, urgent medical care, and engaging activities that include both educational and recreational elements. FOA's consistent presence and reliable care build trust, hope, and a sense of belonging for street youth. 

The goals of the program extend beyond immediate relief to include emotional support and long-term engagement. By listening to and empathizing with the street residents, high school and university students inspire them to envision a better future and encourage their participation in our Norviwo Community Center, where they can heal from trauma, access positive influences, and pursue skills training.

Make A Difference

We wouldn't be able to make the impact we do without the help of our high school and university student volunteers who donate their time on the streets of Accra every week.

Wellness Wednesday

Every Wednesday from 9am to 4pm, we invite children in street situations to find refuge at our Norviwo community center, offering them a much-needed break from the harsh realities of street life. At the center, they receive nourishing meals, rest, and access to hygiene facilities, while participating in life skills programs focused on teamwork, values, self-esteem, and healthy habits. Our aim is to provide a safe space that supports their overall well-being, empowers them with essential life skills, and inspires them to redirect their lives. 

We're Here To Help

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.

The Impact Of Service and Street Outreach

Through FOA's Service and Street Outreach programs, FOA has enrolled 28 youth in academic education and skills training, as well as reunited 58 missing youth with their families. 

Our Impact

  • On the streets you hustle before you eat. Nobody cares about you.
