In Accra, the capital of Ghana, more than 1,000 undocumented children were found living on the streets. The government wants to help them leave the streets, go to school, and live safely.
In Ghana, many children live on the streets of Accra. They have no papers, no home, and often no family with them. A few days ago, the police found over 1,300 children sleeping outside or begging for food.
These children often come from other countries like Burkina Faso or Togo. They enter Ghana without using the proper routes, which can be dangerous.
The Ghanaian government said it wants to protect them. Doctors will examine them, and the authorities will help them return to their families or home countries, saying that leaving children in the streets is not good for their future or for the country’s safety.
