| Outreach to women and children living on the streets While focusing on the rural communities is important for many prevention aspects, Sovereign Global Mission also believes in helping the children who are already on the streets, living each day trying to find food and work. Felicia, our Field Director, travels to an area called Cocoa Marketing Board, dubbed CMB, three to four times a week. It is an area largely populated by homeless children, men, and women. She is well known around this area as she has been conducting visits around CMB for almost ten years now. Women and children’s faces light up as they come running towards her, embracing in big, long hugs. Although one person, she has truly made an impact on the people of CMB, whether it is finding a sick child and getting them medical treatment to sitting down and making friends with a group of sex workers. She takes the time to talk to people and listen to them, and that is often what they need the most. Sometimes just knowing that someone cares about you enough to listen to your story and try to help you can change your life in small ways. A quote by Mother Teresa truly captures the nature of Felicia’s street work, “We can do no great things, only small things with great love.” The greatest needs on the street include providing services to abandoned children, feeding people, obtaining medical treatment for pregnant women, and meeting the immense medical needs of street men, women, and children. |
| Rural Educational Sponsorship As an NGO, we have chosen to conduct our current projects in the rural communities because there is tremendous need in this largely overlooked group. Most children who could stay in school become dropouts while some are not able to enter school at all. This is the reason for the high level of illiteracy and truancy in the rural communities. Unfortunately, the outcome is often another child with no education living on the urban streets. Research has found that many of the street children of Accra migrated from their rural villages in search of opportunities found in cities. As a result, they are trapped in human trafficking, abuse, homelessness, prostitution, and the endless cycle of poverty. SGM has an opportunity to stem this tide of urban migration by giving these children an education and a chance at a better future for themselves, their children, and Ghana as a whole.
