Norviwo Transformation Pathway Program (Miahaya + Miasrornu + Mialike) is a four-year comprehensive program that restores street youth's physical, emotional, and mental health, facilitates family reunification, and transitions them into vocational programs. NTP equips former street children with practical job skills for meaningful employment. Our goal is to improve the well-being of Norviwo residents and provide extensive care through our Norviwo Extended Family Support (NEFS). Our NEFS are high school students, university students, and professionals who offer their friendship, mentorship, job-shadowing, employment, and network.
Your donations enable Future of Africa staff and volunteers at Norviwo to create a safe space for children in street situations.
Make A Donation Become A VolunteerAt Miahaya, we focus on transitioning street residents aged 15 -18 into a comprehensive 1-year program aimed at restoring their physical, emotional, and mental health. We improve the overall well-being of these youth by firstly tracing and reuniting them with families to facilitate reconciliation and mend broken relationships. We then provide therapy to heal from past traumas and essential life skills training.
In years two and three of NTP, we equip our youth with practical job skills to allow them to become fully independent as entrepreneurs or be employed by our partner organisations. With quality hands-on training in hairdressing, carpentry, auto mechanic repairs, fashion design, catering and beadwork, we know street residents stand a better chance of staying off the streets.
At the final stage of NTP, we equip former street residents to find housing, jobs, learn financial literacy, mentorship, and give back to their communities. We enable each resident to attain an internship to gain work experience and serve as a springboard towards launching their careers.
Vocational training and supplementary workshops significantly improve the employability of former street children. Skill development and education reduces the vulnerability of our youth to poverty and unemployment, paving the way for brighter futures.
Every moment a child is off the streets and in the classroom is another moment for the Future of Africa.

Victoria reflects on a memorable day making scented candles—an experience she never imagined she would have.
After three years on the streets of Accra, Vivian found more than a safe place to call home when she joined FOA. She gained new skills, confidence, and an opportunity to begin changing her family’s story.
