Storyboard 3.3 Youth Alive "Our vision is Ghana without street children where every child can live a life of dignity and self worth." Thousands of children live on the streets of Africa, never able to experience recreation, never being able to have an education, never being able to sore. What can you do to help? || Youth Alive is a non-profit organization that raises money to help educate and care for children on the streets of Ghana. It gives children a chance to have a brighter future for children living in Ghana. The logo for Youth Alive stands for a star, sunshine, and happiness. Children have a chance to be happy, and reach their full potential. The main purpose of this organization is to educate children. Youth Alive educates children on the streets of Ghana, and provide classes for them. The organization also pays fees, provides textbooks, and school furniture. Youth Alive also gives teenagers, (fifteen years and above),the chance to learn trades of their own. They also support teenagers in setting up their businesses after their training. Youth Alive provides counseling for the children, and provide a recreation center for the children, some of whom have never been able to have access to any kind of recreation. Youth Alive provides health care services, and credit, so the families can get off the streets, and have a better relationship. The most important thing of all that Youth Alive does to help Ghana families is, unite families, and giving every child a chance to feel loved. || Ghana is a country in Africa, located between the countries of Cote D’Ivoire and Togo. Youth Alive supports Ghana and is located there. Ghana is a very high populated country, however many people live on the streets. Its GDP is very low, at $2, 480, and a life expectancy of 60 years. The people of Ghana do not live as long as those of the U.S., because the sanitation is not clean. The organization cares for and educates children and families on the streets of Africa to give them a chance for a better life that they have never gotten to have. || The flag of Ghana represents freedom, and cultural colors. Most of the flags in Africa have many things in common, such as the colors red, black, green, yellow, and shapes such as a star. This flag means a lot to their culture. || [] || ** Who They Support: ** Youth Alive supports children living on the street, children trading on the street, orphans, disabled children, and HIV orphans, and children with parents suffering from HIV. || Youth Alive provides so many amazing experiences for children of Ghana, such as a recreation center. This is a place where the kids can go to be cared for, loved, and build friendships. The Staff entertain these children with many different activities including crafts. The children love these activities, because they have never had a chance to have fun, and some of them have never seen themselves in a mirror, or reflection. The picture shows children of Ghana, playing with each other, and having fun at Youth Alive's recreation centers for children. Some of these children have no family, but Youth Alive gives them a chance to have that family they have never had, and to be loved. || [] || ** History and Funding: ** Youth Alive has a lot of history. It was founded by AAG. It was formally called The Tamale Street Children's Project. After six years of working as an Action Aid project, the project finally became an autonomous local NGO in January 2002, also known as Youth Alive. It survives through public donations and grants for specific projects. Currently it receives grants from Action Aid Ghana and Comic Relief of the United Kingdom, without their support the organization would not be able to survive. || [] || ** Creating a Family and Building Friendships: ** Youth Alive helps in building and strengthening friendships. Children from all over the country of Ghana unite to have fun together, learn, share their lives together, and to become a family. || [] || ** Supporting Children in Building a Future: ** Not only does Youth Alive help children excel in their education, but they help them build a future. Youth Alive supports graduates and teenagers, in establishing their businesses, and helping them get a job. Youth Alive pays for tools for the teenager’s businesses. The graduates can help support their relatives, create a family, and have a better life, with the help of Youth Alive. || The teachers and volunteers at Youth Alive are incredible people. The teachers volunteer to educate the children, entertain them at the recreation centers, counsel them, and work with each child individually They care so much about these children, and it would be impossible to state how much they have done in changing the lives' of these children in need. || Youth Alive is located in Tamale, Ghana.
