Hear from those who have worked with us
"I worked for Youth Alive for ten months during my social work internship. I got to know Youth Alive and I started to love this place. I worked with the children at Tizaa trying to teach them the social skills they'll need in life."
"Youth Alive is an organisation that has a heart for the children forced to live on the street. They take care of these children by providing them an education. This can mean that they help the children attend school or, when the child is too old for school, help them learn a job."
"If you are interested in teaching the children English or Mathematics, to play games with the children, to help raise funds or any other activity to help Youth Alive, please contact them."
"The most striking thing about Youth Alive is its passion. I have yet to meet an organisation in northern Ghana that holds the same fiery passion for the young people it serves, the same dedication and the same comprehension of the complex problem of streetism."
"Youth Alive exists to provide consistent, caring support and its programs are designed to address not only the surface issues of poverty and streetism but to get right down to the heart of it, providing a future for children of the streets."
"Volunteers are free to come with their skills, gifts and abilities, and Youth Alive is very flexible and willing to provide everything they can for their kids."
"I feel blessed to have worked with this organisation because of the compassion they show towards street children. I like their ideology of taking young children off the streets and giving them the opportunity to learn and grow through schooling and trades."
"My fondest memories are of their smiles, affection, and devotion to learn as much as they could while they were attending my class. I will always remember the Math competitions we would have and how well they always wanted to do."
"I truly believe that this is the heart of Youth Alive, taking young children off of the streets and putting them into a positive environment that enables them to prepare for a brighter future."
"Right from the start, I was struck by the dedication of its staff who, without patronising the children, give them the love, care and respect that they so desperately need."
"I have witnessed the amazing achievements of Youth Alive, against all odds and often with limited resources. I've met many successful young people supported by Youth Alive who have been trained in various trades and even attended university."
"By supporting one child you can be sure to transform the lives of many others and help break the cycle of poverty. I have seen it and it works!"
