• I have lived on the street before and so I know the struggles these children go through. Since I was fortunate to learn a skill and escape poverty, I believe it is important to support other young girls gain a skill in sewing so they can have a better future.
    Deborah Oppong, Founder Lovely Mode Couture
  • I was on the street for seven years and because I had epilepsy and polio people used to shun me just like my parents did. But since I joined FOA, now I see myself as a person. That I also matter.
    Isaac Andoh, Norviwo resident
  • I used to think it was normal for children to live on the streets, but joining FOA opened my eyes to the harsh reality that this is a serious social problem demanding urgent attention. Now, I am confident that I can play a significant role in addressing and solving this issue
    Victoria Pokuah Agyei
  • FOA is following through with its mission to build positive character for lifelong well-being and livelihood. FOA have chosen to love and value the lives of street residents even if these kids do not love or value themselves
    Alanson
  • In the next 10 to 15 years we will have hundreds more boys living on the streets, if we don't come together and give them opportunities to find meaningful work. This is why I support FOA to provide practical job skills training.
    Ernest Nii Laryea, Founder Danestrol Auto Center
  • I have chosen to partner with FOA to train girls in hairdressing because having a skill means that these girls are less vulnerable, because they have a means of making money. They are not trapped in poverty without a way out.
    Kuorkor Dzani, Founder Twist & Locs
  • After I joined FOA, I run back to the street about four times because it was difficult to adjust. But I was so happy when Future of Africa accepted me again when I asked for another chance. I felt back at home. Now there is hope to attain my future ambitions.
    Rebecca Coffie
  • If it was not for FOA, I would not have seen my family for more than 3 years
