Over 200 Feet For 20 Years

 On Saturday, women, children and men took to the streets of Ghana for Street Girls Aid's 20th Anniversary Charity Walk to recognize the work of S.Aid. It was the goal of the organizers to have 200 feet on the streets walking and sharing the event theme "Together In Empowering Street Children For National Growth" and the numbers of walkers exceeded the expectations and included organizations serving street children, supporters, staff and street children. After the walk a celebration was held at the S.Aid refuge and training center.

The walk kicks off a week of celebration activities recognizing the work and accomplishments of Street Girls Aid; the staff and the children served. The next event, on June 30th continues to highlight the impact of the organization at the book launch of Stories From The Streets a newly published book which features twenty stories of children who were impacted by Street Girls Aid.
