Project Description
Light for Children – Ghana is a non-governmental, child centred, development organization, without religious or political affiliation. It provides welfare to the needy and disadvantaged children in society, and also focuses on community and humanitarian services.
The organization was set up in response to the devastating effects of the HIV/AIDS epidemic on families, communities and on innocent children in Ghana and the NGO's focus is on children in Ashanti region. The effect of the epidemic on these helpless orphans and vulnerable children, especially HIV-positive ones, is tremendous and far-reaching.
These children are often left in the care of their grandmothers who are sometimes too old and lack the financial and material resources to take care of them. Those who are HIV positive have a lot of difficulty in getting the anti-retroviral therapy, their main source of survival and existence.
