    About this project

    H. Kojo from Opportunity Two Excel Foundation is responsible for this project
    About 80% children said they see themselves as LIVING-DEATH.
    The project is based on the latest rural child labour projects organised by Opportunity Two Excel Foundation in Eastern region, Volta region, Central region and Western of Ghana. Child labour, girl child sexual abuse and child abuse is out of control, in these regions our research and survey shows that parents and guardian want cheap labour and so about 55% do not have money to hire labour due to high poverty level in the communities and 45% is lack of knowledge. Many parents do not know the importance of education. Many children have witness serious domestic violent and has affected them dearly mentally and emotionally, just imagine about 75% children have been affected when they witness domestic violence, regardless of whether or not they are directly abused. Child sexual abuse has been linked with a variety of psychiatric disorders in childhood and continuing into adulthood. Most job carried out by these children is likely to harm their health, safety and causing mental disability of children whiles the child suppose to be at school. Some of these young people work on the street, collecting rubbish, begging, and in prostitution.
    In 2013 Opportunity Two Excel Foundation started a program to meet the needs of vulnerable traumatized rural children to enable them at least have primary education. We implemented a project which aims to deliver targeted support to help traumatized children school and doing all forms of child labour on the farms of Asiakrom, Akwane Dobro, Yaw Edipa and Yaw Djan to improve their situation and to give them the chance for a better future.

    The inhabitants is characterized by poor infrastructure with only 1% of the road network paved, basic school 0%, electricity 0%, pipe borne water supply 0%, health care 0%, lack of access to sources of information with less than 0.5% of the households reporting having a radio or a TV set, and high levels and incidences of poverty as more than 80 % of the residents live on less than one USD daily, the children and comprise of 85% of the population of the district.

    In 17/12/2014 we donated 10 set of desktop computers, doors, windows and 5 workshops.

    In order to reach our goal of bring those , we need to provides learning materials such as pencils, rulers, exercise books, mathematical sets, pen, schools bags, footwear, Letter tracing books, desktop computers to areas that have electricity and child psychologist to assist traumatized children. About 90% public schools in Ghana do not have psychologist to assist traumatized children. The program is complete intervention to heal the children and reshape their future for better.
