Child Labour and Trafficking project, Ghana

There are over 1.3 million children in Ghana who are engaged in child labor. FS Ghana aims to decrease this number through its anti-trafficking program. Children are trafficked to distant fishing villages for years at a time and exploited with little to no compensation. Some are trafficked because of their family’s financial circumstances; in desperation, a family may be forced to sell their child into service for a small sum of money. These children are then injured or sometimes even killed at sea. We strive to eliminate trafficking through education, rehabilitation, and community empowerment.
