Pilot supporting young street-connected mothers to improve outcomes through quality ECD in Accra (360G-CR-1557402)

A recent census found there are more than 30,000 young girls living and working on the streets of Accra, capital of Ghana. Many have given birth themselves and have small children to support. To survive they carry heavy loads, sell cheap goods, or engage in sex work. These young mothers have limited experience of good parenting, and without support their children will not receive the early years education to prepare them for entrance into primary school. The focus of this project is to engage with young street connected mothers and improve their skills to support their children's development, improve their financial literacy, and offer quality early years teaching to their children.
