Driving Change Through Purposeful Initiatives
At Starlight Foundation, We believe in Transforming Lives and Creating Impact. We do this through an all-inclusive approach that addresses immediate needs while building long-term independence:
Quality Education
We break down barriers to learning by partnering with schools to re-integrate street-connected children into formal education. We ensure every child stays in class by providing essential tuition support, uniforms, textbooks, and school supplies.
Research & Advocacy
We conduct on-the-ground research across Ghana to understand the root causes of street life and deliver evidence-based policy recommendations. Through stakeholder engagement and community campaigns, we drive systemic change and protect children's rights.
Legal & Healthcare
We ensure the well-being of vulnerable youth by providing regular health screenings, medical care, and health education. Additionally, our legal support services assist children with birth registration and ensure their rights are fully protected.
Youth & Family Empowerment
We equip older youth, vulnerable teenagers, and single mothers with practical vocational trades, entrepreneurship training, and life-skills mentorship—enabling families to achieve financial stability and build sustainable livelihoods.
Our Collective Impact
Behind every number is a life changed, a family supported, and a community transformed. Together with our partners, donors, and volunteers, we are creating sustainable change across Ghana.
Building A Future Beyond The Streets
Every child deserves a safe place to grow, learn, and thrive. We work to break the cycle of poverty for street-connected youth across Ghana by removing systemic barriers and creating lasting opportunities. Through education, advocacy, health, and vocational skills, we empower young people to unlock their potential and build an independent, promising future.

Menso Me Ka Ho Bi
“Life has been very difficult for me. If I don’t go and carry people’s fish from the sea, my child and I starve for the day. But the training I have received from Starlight is going to make me generate enough funds for myself and my family.”
Rhoda Ashidam
Menso Me Ka Ho Bi
“This project brings tears to my eyes. I’ve never seen this before — someone paying for your training, your child’s school fees, and giving daily stipends too. I can’t stop thanking Starlight and every organization that made this possible.”
Agnes Kotey
Menso Me Ka Ho Bi
“My child stopped going to school when his father died because I didn’t have money to be taking care of him. But Starlight Foundation and its partners have brought hope to myself and my family. May God richly bless them”
Susuana Kanukie
Let Her Know
“Before Let Her Know, girls were absent every month and nobody explained why. Since the team started visiting Nsawam D/A JHS, teachers now support girls properly, supplies are available, and shame around this topic has lifted. It changed the culture of my school.
Mr. Kwabena Owusu-Ansah
Let Her Know
“I used to miss three or four school days every month, too embarrassed to explain why. When Let Her Know visited St. Monica’s Girls JHS, they explained everything and gave me pads. I haven’t missed a single day this term. I want to become a nurse.”
Abigail Mensah
Let Her Know
“Before, if a girl was absent, we boys would laugh, not understanding why. After Let Her Know spoke to us at Tamale Islamic JHS, I learned how to actually help instead of teasing. I’ve even talked to my sister about it — something my father never did.”
Fuseini Abdul-Rahman
EquiAccess
“I used to sleep around Accra Central and Nima, thinking rights were only for children with homes. Starlight’s advocates, including one who’d lived on the street too, taught us how to report abuse. I even spoke on radio about it — something I never imagined.”
Kwame Asante
EquiAccess
“In Nima-Mamobi, families never trusted police to take children’s cases seriously. EquiAccess brought police, social workers and teachers into the same room as us and the children. I’ve seen
a 15-year-old tell an officer his rights directly —something I never thought I’d witness here.”
