CHILD LABOUR AND TRAFFICKING
The mission of the Stop Child Labor & Trafficking Project is to combat the endemic problem of child labour and trafficking in the fishing communities of Ghana through education, rehabilitation, and community empowerment. Patriots Ghana provides educational sponsorship to current child labourers and children who have returned from being trafficked. We raise awareness on the dangers of child labour and trafficking and education sessions for parents and fisherman on the importance of a basic education for their children. The project also targets children’s rights, basic literacy, financial management, and community pride. Summer 2017 brought two amazing interns Leah Singleton and Taegan Dennis both of whom are undergraduate students at the Florida State University (FSU). They served as project coordinators for Patriots Ghana’s Child labor and trafficking prevention project in three fishing communities in the Central region of Ghana (Senya, Fetteh, and Nyanyano). As part of their PROJECT UPDATES – CHILD LABOUR AND TRAFFICKING PROJECTS
