The church has, for the last four years, provided free breakfast, clothes, toiletries and skills development for street children and also created a sense of belonging for them in Accra. Dr Bawumia expressed his appreciation to the benefactors of the street children and pleaded with others to support, too. Dr Bawumia reaffirmed the government's commitment to continue providing skills training to street children so they can earn a living, find their feet and eventually leave the streets.
