The trafficking of children into Ghana’s fishing industry is a terrifying reality. It is not uncommon for Ghanaian children as young as three or four years old to be sold by their families to work in the fishing communities along the Lake Volta region. This form of child labour is modern day slavery. Join LifeLink in the fight against child slavery, and say “NO” to child trafficking.
In June and July of 2010 our amazing YGAP volunteers travelled to Rwanda to the Ntenyo Primary School. There they helped in rebuilding existing structures and additional classrooms as well as training up local teachers and establishing youth clubs. Of course, projects like these could not happen without your generous donations and ongoing support. Thank you to all who were involved, from the $5 donor to the volunteers themselves. Ntenyo Primary and YGAP thanks you.

The commercial is not meant to offend viewers, nor does it represent what YGAP believes would ever occur in Australia. The aim is to demonstrate, in an Australian context, the reality of the difficult situation faced by many Ghanaian families when they are forced to sell their children out of desperation.
