Welcome to Youth Alive Ghana

We are currently updating
to a new super awesome
website.

Youth Alive is a Non-governmental Organisation that works in the northern and upper regions of Ghana, the poorest areas in the country. Originally named “Tamale Street Children’s Project” the organisation was a sub-programme of Action Aid Ghana, established in 1995, which was started to address the growing problem of children running away from their poverty-stricken rural homes to Tamale, the capital of the Northern Region, in the search for a better life only to end up on the streets.

Youth Alive is a Non-governmental Organisation that works in the northern and upper regions of Ghana, the poorest areas in the country. Originally named “Tamale Street Children’s Project” the organisation was a sub-programme of Action Aid Ghana, established in 1995, which was started to address the growing problem of children running away from their poverty-stricken rural homes to Tamale, the capital of the Northern Region, in the search for a better life only to end up on the streets.

Tamale Street Children’s Project was very successful and grew considerably until in 2002, with the support of Action Aid Ghana and Comic Relief, it became an autonomous NGO. Renamed Youth Alive, it expanded to also work in the Upper West and Upper East regions and has continued to grow, now helping a wider group of vulnerable children, working in areas of education, disability, microfinance and livelihoods, health, governance and advocacy. Youth Alive is working with some of the most vulnerable groups within these three regions to help improve the social and economic living conditions in these areas.
