12 April: International Day for Street Children
This innovative TV drama on youth streetism in Ghana showcases how the interplay of parental irresponsibility towards children and the subsequent crave for non-existent jobs and wealth in Ghana’s urban centres fuels the phenomenon of Kayaaye migration and streetism. It also highlights the adverse consequences of the street life for the children and their families. The TV drama was produced by CEDEPA as part of the awareness raising and advocacy campaign around International Day for Street Children and International Day Against Child Labour, and financed by Adamfo Ghana.
